Aiyegbeni Tries Out At Coventry City

Rock bottom League One side, Coventry City have handed former Nigeria International,Yakubu Aiyegbeni a trial at the club.

Coventry currently need extra firepower having scored just 23 goals in their 29 outings so far this term and Aiyegbeni,34 is seen as an option to get the goals for the Sky Blue.

The former Everton goal poacher who last played for Turkish club, Kayserispor
has been a free agent since 2016 July.

However the Sky Blues manager, Russell Slade, confirmed that the Nigerian is currently trying out at his club.

"He's going to spend some time with us, and we'll see how he gets on. He's made a big impression, he's a nice fella, and he's been welcomed by the team," Russell told Sky Sport

"He's been away in Turkey, that was his last football club. He's back over in England now, and wants to get back playing as quickly as he can. Achieving Football Championship? I don't think we're a million miles away, but sometimes just to find those extra few inches to bridge that gap. You know one player can do that to find that spark for you to get you some momentum going forward, and that's what we're looking for. That's what we desperately need.
