Coventry sign Mfuni on loan from Man City
Coventry City sign English defender Stephen Mfuni on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City.
Coventry City have secured the services of English defender Stephen Mfuni on a season-long loan from Manchester City. The 18-year-old made his senior debut for Manchester City as a substitute in last season's 10-1 FA Cup win against Exeter City. Prior to that, he had a loan spell at Watford, where he played eight times in the Championship.
Mfuni will be the 11th signing for Coventry head coach Frank Lampard since the club's promotion to the Premier League at the end of last season. Mfuni expressed his excitement about joining Coventry, stating, "I feel blessed to be here, it's exciting. These are moments you dream of and to do it with such a good team and a good squad, I'm looking forward to it."
During his conversation with the manager, Mfuni was told to showcase his usual style of play, whether as left-back or centre-back. The young defender remains focused on doing what he does best. Coventry currently sit 18th in the Premier League after suffering two consecutive losses to Arsenal and Hull City. Their next fixture is an away game against Manchester City on September 5th.
