Coventry boss Gary McAllister hopes to have defender Gary Caldwell on board by the time his players report back for pre-season training. The 20-year-old centre-back was reported to have joined The Sky Blues on a year-long loan deal a week ago but City said negotiations were still ongoing.

Coventry boss Gary McAllister hopes to have defender Gary Caldwell on board by the time his players report back for pre-season training. The 20-year-old centre-back was reported to have joined The Sky Blues on a year-long loan deal a week ago but City said negotiations were still ongoing.

Preston have now entered the chase for the defender but McAllister is determined to get his man before his squad returns for training next week.

The City boss has made just one signing so far, bringing in Dean Gordon on a free transfer. He is, however, looking to make further additions to his squad after releasing 11 players on his first day at the club.
