Coventry City Could Offload Ellis Simms Just Weeks After Signing Him from Everton
In a surprising turn of events, Coventry City is reportedly open to listening to offers for Ellis Simms, who they signed from Everton in July for a fee of £8 million. The striker, who was seen as a key addition to the Sky Blues’ attacking line-up, has struggled to settle at the club, leading to speculation about his future just weeks after his arrival
Simms, 22, joined Coventry with high expectations after impressing during loan spells at various clubs, including Blackpool and Sunderland. However, his tenure at Coventry has not gone according to plan. Despite being given opportunities to prove himself, Simms has yet to find the back of the net and has struggled to adapt to Coventry’s playing style under manager Mark Robins.
Coventry’s decision to consider offloading Simms comes as a surprise, especially given the significant investment the club made to bring him in. The Sky Blues were hoping that Simms could be the answer to their goal-scoring woes following Viktor Gyökeres’ departure, but the young striker has not been able to fill the void left by the Swedish forward.
There are rumors that Coventry could be willing to accept a similar fee to what they paid Everton if a suitable offer comes in. Alternatively, the club might look at loaning him out to regain form and confidence. Simms’ availability is likely to attract interest from Championship clubs, where his physical presence and potential could be valuable assets.
The situation is still developing, and it remains to be seen whether Simms will be on the move again before the transfer window closes. For now, Coventry fans are left wondering whether the club’s investment in Simms will pay off or if this will go down as a costly mistake.
