Coventry are said to be in formal negotiations with Hull over the signing of Charlie Hughes. The defender has been a target for some time, and talks are said to be intensifying as the window progresses. The player remains under contract, but movement looks increasingly likely the longer talks go on. Sheff Utd remain in the background, but for now, Coventry are leading the way in ongoing talks. Coventry's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.88 goals per game (7 in 8). Charlie Hughes would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. No fresh speculation surrounds Hull or Coventry regarding other transfer targets.
