Coventry City boss discusses replacing ‘incredible’ Callum O’Hare as Gus Hamer point made.
Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as Mark Robins provides an update on Callum O’Hare’s future and his plans to fill the void left by the 10-goal midfielder if he leaves on a free this summer
Mark Robins has identified a key area Coventry City want to strengthen in the summer transfer market while providing an update on Callum O’Hare’s future.
The popular attacking midfielder produced his best return in his five years with the Sky Blues this season, hitting double figures for the first time in his senior career with 10 goals, including doubles against Midland rivals Birmingham and Leicester, and an FA Cup brace against Sheffield Wednesday.
But Saturday’s final match of the season, at home to QPR (12.30pm kick-off), looks like being the 26-year-old’s last appearance for the club he quickly grew to love following his move from Aston Villa, and where the supporters have taken him into their hearts. The out of contract player has been offered fresh terms but, so far, has declined to sign a new deal and looks likely to leave as a free agent.
Although focused on trying to end the season with a positive performance and result, Robins has half an eye on his summer recruitment, admitting: “We need more goals from midfield, and with what’s looking like Callum moving on we are looking at that and what happens next.
“But who knows, Callum may turn around at the end of this season, although I doubt it, and say he wants to stay. But we don’t know yet. It’s one of those things where we can hope, but whatever happens we will look to improve where we can and those are the things Adi (Viveash) and I have spoken about in terms of what we can do, what we have in the building and how are we going to approach things and change our focus.
“I don’t want to give too much away, but we’re well on with it, so in our minds our focus is there. We need a break, to be fair, so we’ll have a holiday, but otherwise we will be working throughout the summer.”
