Coventry City to hand West Ham and Fulham blow as big Jack Rudoni update emerges | OneFootball

Jack Rudoni is set to sign a new contract at Coventry City despite interest from Premier League clubs including West Ham and Fulham.

Coventry City’s Jack Rudoni is set to sign a ‘bumper’ new contract to stay at the club, despite Premier League interest in the attacking midfielder.

The 24-year-old has been outstanding for the Sky Blues since Frank Lampard’s appointment, with Rudoni scoring ten times and registering 12 assists in the previous campaign.

That form has carried on this season, as the ex-Huddersfield man has found the net twice in the first five games, with Coventry occupying the final play-off spot at this early stage, and they are yet to taste defeat.

As you would expect, those performances have put Rudoni on the radar of other clubs, with Southampton having tried to prise him from the CBS Arena in the summer window.

However, the player opted to stay put, and TalkSPORT has revealed that Rudoni is now in line to sign a new and improved contract with Coventry, even though Fulham and West Ham have been monitoring him ahead of the transfer window.

They explain that Rudoni is happy in the Midlands, and it’s said that he is ‘close’ to putting pen to paper to sign the extension and to commit his future to Coventry.

This is great news for Coventry, as Rudoni has been magnificent for the club since Lampard’s appointment, and he has arguably been the best player outside the Premier League in the past ten months.

When you look at the goals and assists he has contributed, it’s no surprise that other clubs have tried to bring him in, so Coventry deserve credit for keeping him at the club.

They are now rewarding him for such form, and Rudoni is sure to appreciate that, as he still has three years to run on his current contract, so the club didn’t need to act.

From the perspective of Rudoni, it makes total sense for him to stick around at Coventry because he is a key player and Lampard’s coaching has helped take his game up a level.

At 24, he still has room to develop, and Rudoni will no doubt have ambitions of playing at the top level, but he will feel he can achieve that with Coventry, who will believe that promotion to the Premier League this season is a real possibility given the talent they have in the squad.
