SKY CONFIRM: Coventry City are in advanced negotiations with an electrifying midfield maestro from Scandinavia, as Frank Lampard looks to supercharge his engine room ahead of a pivotal season.
Sources close to the deal suggest the Sky Blues have opened formal talks with Malmö FF standout Elias Lundqvist, a dynamic box-to-box operator who has caught the eye with his tempo, vision, and relentless work rate. Coventry’s recruitment team have tracked the 24-year-old for months, impressed by his ability to dictate games while contributing goals and assists from midfield.
Negotiations are understood to be progressing positively, with discussions centred on a permanent move rather than a loan. Lundqvist is believed to be keen on the switch, attracted by Coventry’s project, their modern playing style, and the opportunity to test himself in English football.
While no fee has been finalised, insiders indicate a package in the region of £3–4 million could be enough to seal the deal, with add-ons linked to appearances and promotion targets. Personal terms are not expected to be a major stumbling block.
If completed, the signing would represent a statement of intent from Coventry City, adding energy, creativity, and steel to a midfield already brimming with ambition, among supporters dreaming boldly of promotion glory this time around.
