Coventry City are reportedly competing with Middlesbrough for the signing of FC Cincinnati striker Kévin Denkey, who joined the MLS club from Cercle Brugge in November 2024 for a record $16.2 million, which is about £13m. The 25-year-old Togolese and French forward, who has 44 caps and 10 goals for Togo, is open to a move to England. The player's age and profile make him an attractive player for both Coventry and Middlesbrough, dependent on either club winning promotion to the Premier League. Denkey's current contract runs until 2028, with an option for an additional year. In the 2025/2026 MLS season, he has made 1 appearance without scoring, and his current Transfermarkt valuation is €14.00m.
