The latest Coventry City transfer news: every confirmed deal in the 2026/27 window, who they’re linked with, and the odds on what happens next. Updated 20 August 2026.
Coventry's first Premier League summer since 2001 has been fearless: £122m spent, a club record broken on £23m Caleb Yirenkyi, and Frank Lampard's squad rebuilt from the goalkeeper out — Carl Rushworth arriving for £22m, and Taiwo Awoniyi signed from Forest just this week to lead the line.
Just £4.4m has come back the other way; no club in the division has sold less. That makes the final fortnight a pure buying exercise, and Fikayo Tomori and Mykhailo Mudryk are the names that would turn a promising window into a statement one. Every line of Coventry City transfer news lands here as it breaks.
