Coventry City confirmed the signing of 33-year-old goalkeeper Dan Bentley from Wolverhampton Wanderers on a two-year contract, adding experienced cover for Carl Rushworth before their Premier League opener against Arsenal. Owner Doug King said the club had successfully rebuilt its squad after promotion but left the door open for further late additions. Coventry remain linked with Chelsea players Mykhailo Mudryk and Josh Acheampong, with FIFA’s ban on “bomb squads” potentially encouraging Chelsea to complete outgoing deals. Leeds are also reportedly pursuing Mudryk, while Aston Villa have shown interest in Coventry-linked defender Fikayo Tomori. The live coverage also highlighted positive assessments of Frank Lampard’s management, the arrivals of Matt Grimes, Sidiki Cherif and Taiwo Awoniyi, and Coventry’s optimism ahead of their return to the top flight.

Coventry City are reportedly close to signing Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Daniel Bentley, with the transfer expected to be confirmed on Friday. The 33-year-old, who previously attracted interest from Arsenal, is set to provide competition and cover for Carl Rushworth after making only 17 appearances for Wolves. The move would become Coventry's ninth summer signing as Frank Lampard's newly promoted side prepares to open its Premier League campaign against Arsenal.
