One in, one out for Sky Blues?

Coventry City are again being credited with an interest in local boy and Shrewsbury Town centre-half Kelvin Langmead.

The former Preston man would fit the bill of a young, hungry player who could possible be prised away on loan ahead of the January transfer window.

Port Vale meanwhile are rumoured to be looking at a loan deal for their former star Chris Birchall.

Manager Dean Glover told The Sentinel: ‘He’s a name that has been brought up before and he’s somebody we might be interested in if he’s available.

‘I’ve not made contact with Coventry, or with Chris himself, and I think he’s away with Trinidad at the moment.

‘I don’t know if we will make contact and I don’t know what his situation is at Coventry, although he has not been in favour there.’
