2 players Coventry City should sign for free this summer

While Coventry City has not yet announced their league assignment for the upcoming campaign, it is obvious that Mark Robins and his coaching staff will be keeping a close eye on a few individuals in order to enhance their roster.

Due to their recent ascent through the divisions, the Sky Blues would be a desirable team to join, and players such as Viktor Gyokeres demonstrate the influence Coventry had in shaping him into one of European football’s most sought-after talents.

This summer, the club might be tempted to look at the free agent market. Since there won’t be a transfer fee, the club will undoubtedly find some great players available and save money.

In light of this, Coventry City ought to sign these two Championship free agents this summer.

Chris Willock

Chris Willock, a QPR player, has an expiring contract at Loftus Road this summer and would be a great, practical addition to Coventry’s team.

This season, Coventry has frequently utilized left-back Jay Dasilva at left-midfield because they lack a true left-sided attacker in their lineup. Willock’s addition could strengthen that position on the team.

With years of experience in championship play, the 26-year-old winger has been a consistent starter for Martí Cifuentes’ team this year.

Willock would be thrilled to play for a team that is vying for promotion as opposed to the QPR team that has been fighting to stay in the Championship the last two seasons.

Willock can play almost anywhere on the attack, so even if he might not be a regular starter if he signed with the Sky Blues, he would still be a solid option off the bench and provide the team some additional depth.

Alan Nixon claims that the footballer has no future at Loftus Road and that the team would prefer to cash in on him now rather than lose him for nothing in the summer.

Mark Robins ought to try to recruit Willock, the former Arsenal player, as he will become a free agent in the summer if a new deal isn’t struck soon.

Jamie Shackleton

Leeds right-back Jamie Shackleton’s contract at Elland Road expires in the summer, and despite recent praise from Daniel Farke, the 24-year-old has not yet committed to a new deal with the club.

With Coventry having only one recognized right-back in their squad in Milan van Ewijk, a potential move for Shackleton would make sense if he were to depart Leeds in the summer.

At 24, Shackleton likely desires regular playing time, something he hasn’t experienced much of at Leeds this season, and the situation could worsen if the club secures promotion to the Premier League.

During Leeds’ previous Premier League campaign, Shackleton spent time on loan at Millwall, indicating that consistent game time might be hard to come by if Leeds ascend to the top flight.

While remaining at Leeds and accepting a limited role might seem convenient, pursuing a starting position at the Championship level could be more advantageous for his career.

A transfer to Coventry could be an ideal scenario, as they are an ambitious club known for developing young talent, and Shackleton’s hard-working demeanor could align well with Mark Robins’ vision for the team.
