What they're saying

"
There were plenty of positives to take from Coventry City's pre-season win over AS Monaco. Firstly, it was an impressive unofficial debut for Caleb Yirenkyi, who at 20-years-old looks more than ready to make the step up to England's top-flight. The Ghana midfielder won duals and was comfortable on the ball, setting up fellow new signing Loum Tchaouna to double Coventry's lead just after the half an hour mark.
