Coventry City’s swoop for Marko Stamenic appears to be complete

“Marko is not from our climate and I think he will fit in very quickly. I mean the language, his mother tongue is English, that’s why he’s totally prepared.

“Marko is excellently prepared, even for a tough league like the Championship. He will have no problem with the physical requirements, the rest will be helped by the people at the club so that he can play well for Coventry from the first game.”

Who is this?

Kieran McKenna

Russell Martin

Danny Rohl

Neil Harris

THE QUIZ STARTS!

Time will tell

It’s worth nothing that local station Coventry Live was a bit more reserved in their coverage of the rumored pursuit of Stamenic. They have stated he is someone Coventry City have a strong interest in, but at no point have they said a deal has been done.

But this is the energy that comes from the selling side of the transaction. Reports in Serbia first said a deal had been reached and now the Red Star boss has openly suggested he will be heading to the CBS Arena.

With the transfer window opening on Friday, it may not be long before the Championship club confirm the addition of Stamenic.

However, it seems he is backed to find success on these shores, with a move away from the Serbian club awaiting the midfielder.

Midfielders are needed

The midfield is an area that Coventry City will be looking to strengthen this summer, so the arrival of Stamenic will be a welcome one should he end up joining the club.

The long-time fan favorite is officially leaving for Rotherham United at the end of his contract and Ben Sheaf has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League.

If he were to head elsewhere, Mark Robins would be left with Josh Eccles, Victor Torp and Jamie Allen as options in the middle. Youngsters Ryan Howley and Kai Andrews have been in and around the first team, but reinforcements will certainly be watched.

Stamenic’s signing would be a strong one, so it remains to be seen if a deal is actually done.
