Coventry sign Stephen Mfuni on season-long loan
Stephen Mfuni joins Coventry on a one-season loan from Manchester City as Frank Lampard adds depth to his squad.
Coventry City have signed Stephen Mfuni on a season-long loan from Manchester City, according to BBC Sport.
Loan move with versatility
The 18-year-old English defender can play at centre-back and left-back. He has made just one senior appearance for his parent club, coming off the bench in last season’s FA Cup win against Exeter City that finished 10-1.
Mfuni is also an England Under-19 international, and he previously went out on loan to Watford, where he made eight appearances in the Championship.
Lampard adds another signing
With this deal, Mfuni becomes Coventry head coach Frank Lampard’s 11th signing since the club were promoted to the Premier League at the end of last season, as BBC Sport reports.
“I feel blessed to be here, it’s exciting. These are moments you dream of… I’m looking forward to it,” said Mfuni. He also added that he spoke with the manager, who wants him to show “what I normally do on the pitch”, whether he plays at left-back or centre-back.
On the season, Coventry sit 18th in the Premier League after losing their opening two matches against Arsenal and Hull City.
