Coventry City have completed the signing of Sweden international goalkeeper Oliver Dovin.
The 22-year-old joins the Sky Blues from Hammarby for an undisclosed fee, understood to be almost £1.6m up front, according to reports in Sweden , making it one of the biggest fees for a Swedish top flight goalie. Dovin has signed a four year deal, subject to FA and international clearance.
He will hook up with the rest of the squad on their return from Spain on Monday and could make his non-competitive debut for the club at Stevenage on Tuesday night.
“We’re very pleased to welcome Oliver to Coventry City,” said manager Mark Robins, who revealed the club have been tracking the player for a while
“Oliver is a highly rated goalkeeper whose progress we have followed for some time, and he will add further quality and competition to our goalkeeping group.
“He is a strong physical presence in goal, a good shot stopper and able to distribute the ball well too. We look forward to him joining us on our return from pre-season tour next week and working with him going forward.”
