Coventry City Poised for Talks to Sign Mjällby Winger Abdoulie Manneh

Coventry seek reinforcements on the flanks in January under Frank Lampard.

Overview

  • Swedish outlet FotbollDirekt reports that Mjällby and Manneh plan to start negotiations with Coventry next week as their preferred first step.
  • Stoke City and Bournemouth are also linked by Swedish reports, but Coventry are described as the leading option at this stage.
  • Mjällby sports director Hasse Larsson confirms English interest and says discussions will begin after the season, with a winter exit viewed as likely.
  • No formal bids have been verified, and a widely circulated €5.45m offer attributed to Stoke is reported as unconfirmed by FotbollDirekt.
  • Manneh, a 21-year-old Gambia international who helped Mjällby win the Allsvenskan, scored seven goals this season and has drawn sustained scouting attention.
