Villa defender Kesler-Hayden set for £3.5m Coventry move
- Published
Coventry are set to complete the signing of Aston Villa defender Kaine Kesler-Hayden after beating off competition from Stoke.
The full-back is due for a medical with the Sky Blues with a deal - worth slightly more than £3.5m - agreed.
Stoke also wanted the 22-year-old but the lure of playing for Frank Lampard, who guided Coventry to the Championship play-offs last season, was key for Kesler-Hayden.
He impressed on loan at Preston last season - winning both the player of the season and young player of the season awards.
Kesler-Hayden came through the ranks at Villa, making four substitute appearances, and any cash will help the club as they look to comply with profit and sustainability rules.
