With the arrival of Taiwo Awoniyi – and Sidiki Cherif seemingly soon to follow – Coventry City's transfer spending has comfortably surged past the £100m mark. And yet we want more.

Fans are still keen for defensive reinforcements, so The Phoenix has looked into a handful of names who have been linked with moves.

A word of warning before we start: these are very much names from the online rumour mill rather than five players The Phoenix understands Coventry are actively pursuing. But rather than simply repeat the rumours, we've made a few calls to find out how plausible they are — and what each player might actually offer.
