The city of Coventry will land the latest sign of summer

Mark Robins’ side have experienced a Championship play-off final as well as an FA Cup semi-final in the last two seasons, but will likely be eyeing a return to the top flight this season.

A new goalkeeper is on the way

According to journalist Daniel Kristoffersson, Coventry City’s move for Sweden goalkeeper Oliver Dovin would be a “done deal” and the stopper will fly to England early next week to officially complete the transfer.

The 22-year-old has been on the Sky Blues’ radar for several weeks and, after critical discussions, Coventry appear to have made progress with the transfer.

How has Dovin fared this season?

With the 2024 Allsvendkan season in full swing, Dovin has made 12 appearances for Hammarby so far this season, keeping three clean sheets in the process.

The shot-stopper has won back-to-back clean sheets in his previous two outings in Sweden, with his current side winning both matches 3-0.

Statistically, has Dovin performed better than Coventry’s current goalkeepers?

Coventry City currently have both Brad Collins and Ben Wilson, with Dovin set to join the Championship side this summer.

During the 2022/23 season, Ben Wilson broke a long-standing club record for clean sheets as well as winning the Championship Golden Glove, but was reduced to just 22 appearances last season, keeping four clean sheets .

Collins joined the Sky Blues last summer from League One side Barnsley and has become the club’s number one. He kept eight clean sheets in 31 appearances last season in all competitions.

Dovin, meanwhile, kept ten clean sheets in 29 appearances last season, as well as three in 12 so far this season.

With the Sky Blues spending “20 million crowns” (according to journalist Anel Avdic), which is the equivalent of around £1.4 million – it would seem confusing if Dovin didn’t come in as a preferred option next season.

This is especially so when you consider that despite reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup last season, Coventry have still conceded 13 goals and picked up just one point in their last six league games.
