Coventry, Crystal Palace move to shore up defences

Coventry and Crystal Palace bolstered their defences on Wednesday following their opening-day Premier League defeats. Coventry signed defender Ethan Pinnock from Brentford, while Crystal Palace loaned Chelsea's Axel Disasi to the club.

Ethan Pinnock, 33, will provide valuable experience to the Sky Blues back-line as Frank Lampard's team aims to avoid a quick return to the Championship. Pinnock expressed his excitement about joining Coventry City and continuing his footballing journey with the club.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace secured Axel Disasi on loan for the season. The 28-year-old French defender, who spent part of last season on loan at West Ham, will bolster Palace's defence. Disasi previously joined Crystal Palace in January on loan.
