Coventry City hoping to complete signing of Aston Villa defender | OneFootball

Coventry City are closing in on the signing of Aston Villa defender Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Hayters.com understands.

Hayters reported last week that the Villa youngster was likely to leave on a permanent basis this summer and that they were pushing to sell the full-back before the end of the month – the deadline for the latest PSR (profit and sustainability rules) period.

Kesler-Hayden spent last season on loan at Preston North End, where he played 51 times in all competitions and was named player of the season.

He has also spent time out on loan at Swindon, MK Dons, Huddersfield, and Plymouth.

And he now looks set to link up with former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard at Coventry.

The Sky Blues narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, losing to Sunderland in the play-off semi-finals.

Fellow Villa full-back Finley Munroe is also attracting loan interest from the Championship and Spain after a successful loan spell at Real Union last season.

Real Union is part owned by Aston Villa owners V Sports and first-team boss Unai Emery, who has been to watch the side on many occasions and has monitored Munroe’s progress closely.

And the full-back, who is first cousins with Arsenal and England star Declan Rice, could head out for another loan spell this summer.
