Oliver Dovin, the goalkeeper for Hammarby IF, is reportedly close to joining Coventry City, according to Swedish publication Aftonbladet.

Coventry City are in the market for new recruits this summer as they look to break back into the Championship play-off spots next season.

The Sky Blues enjoyed a memorable campaign thanks to a fantastic run to the FA Cup semi-finals. However, having started poorly in the league, they gave themselves too much work to do in their bid to salvage a top-six spot.

Mark Robins and co will set sights high for next season though, and some new signings will only aid their bid to cement themselves as a promotion contender again.

Now, reports from Sweden claim a new goalkeeper is on the radar in the form of Oliver Dovin.

Aftonbladet claims that Coventry City are working on a deal to sign the 21-year-old from Allsvenskan side Hammarby. Dovin, who was born in London, has kept 28 clean sheets in 84 games for the club and has been capped by Sweden twice.

It is said that Dovin is the Sky Blues’ top priority as they look to get a deal done.
