Overview
- Romain Esse has joined Coventry City on loan from Crystal Palace until the end of the season and is available for Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Stoke.
- Tottenham’s South Korean winger Yang Min-hyeok arrived earlier this week on loan after a productive spell at Portsmouth.
- Frank Lampard says he is not looking to add more forwards this window, expressing faith in Wright and Simms and noting Thomas-Asante is close to returning from a hamstring injury.
- The stance effectively cools fan speculation about a striker addition such as Callum Wilson, though Lampard indicated the club could still do business in other areas.
- Striker Norman Bassette has moved to FC Kaiserslautern on loan with an option to buy as Coventry adjust the squad during a three-game winless spell in the promotion race.
