Latest Coventry City news from CoventryLive as the Sky Blues are linked with Barnsley’s Callum Styles
Coventry City want to sign Barnsley’s Callum Styles, it is claimed.
Sky Blues boss Mark Robins wants more signings before the transfer window closes and The Sun’s Alan Nixon says 23-year-old midfielder Styles is on his list of targets.
It is said he would cost £22m and that Championship rivals Bristol City are also interested.
Robins has lost star midfielder Gustavo Hamer this summer, after he was sold to Premier League Sheffield United.
And speaking after Saturday’s win over Middlesbrough, Robins said the club planned to reinvest the money from the sale back into their squad.
He said: “When you lose a big player, it’s the character and the energy that he has around the place that you miss. Everybody loved him.
“Generally, you are at the mercy of predators who come in and take your players, but by putting the money back in to recruit better players, or good players who can then grow with you, you can then improve. Obviously Viktor (Gyokeres) and Gus are one offs, but you try and do it.
