Weekend Coventry rumours

Southampton striker Leon Best was again linked with Coventry City at the weekend.

The 20-year-old has plenty of options open to him as he prepares to leave St Mary’s upon the expiry of his contract.

Another player whose deal is up this summer is Nottingham Forest midfielder Kris Commons and the Sky Blues have joined the chase for his signature according to one Sunday newspaper.

Off-the-field, Graeme Souness will reportedly turn to the Ricoh Arena to satisfy his ownership ambitions if he misses out on a deal to buy Manchester City.
