Coventry City target different Premier League goalkeeper

Coventry City are reportedly interested in signing Everton goalkeeper Mark Travers this summer.

The Sky Blues are preparing for life in the Premier League for the first time in 25 years next season.

Frank Lampard's side won the Championship title last season and have been linked with various players since May.

Goalkeeper Carl Rushworth was a big part of that success following a successful season-long loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Coventry are interested in a reunion with Rushworth but a move has not yet materialised over the summer.

A second loan move for Rushworth has not been ruled out, but a £20 million permanent deal has also been widely been reported.

In the meantime, Coventry are interested in exploring for a move for a different Premier League goalkeeper.

Journalist Pete O'Rourke has reported that the club are keeping tabs on Everton's Mark Travers and are considering activating an exit clause in his contract.

The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper joined Everton from Bournemouth last summer but he has been limited to just two cup outings as an understudy to Jordan Pickford.

Travers has enjoyed successful loan spells at Stoke City and Middlesbrough in the Championship in recent times and he is a competent operator between the sticks.

It remains to be seen whether a potential move for Travers would be alongside a deal for Rushworth or whether it is an alternative, but the player himself will want to be in the frame for first-team football next season.
