According to a number of reliable sources, the deal to sign Aurele Amenda has taken a major step forward. After Frankfurt agreed to Coventry's latest bid for the player, the focus has now shifted to personal terms as they look to get a deal done. The defender is said to be receptive to the move, which would see him join an already talented squad ahead of the run-in. Celtic and Nice may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Coventry's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.09 goals per game (38 in 35). Aurele Amenda would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Coventry have recently been linked with Frank Onyeka while Frankfurt have had no rumoured targets.
