Coventry City are set to sign Loum Tchaouna from Burnley in a £20m transfer deal. The move would take the 22-year-old to the CBS Arena before the new campaign, with the deal described as a top priority for Frank Lampard.
Burnley paid £12m to Lazio for Tchaouna’s services just twelve months ago. Last season, the left-footed right-winger made 14 starts in 29 appearances, and he can also play on the left or as a support striker.
Burnley and Coventry City
Fabrizio Romana is reporting the agreement as a done deal, while the wider reporting still frames the move as Coventry City being set to sign him. That leaves the story at a familiar transfer stage: the fee and destination are described plainly, but the public record here stops short of a formal club statement.
The comparison is stark. Coventry City would be committing £20m for a player Burnley bought for £12m a year earlier, turning one squad move into a sizeable swing in value for Burnley and a major outlay for Frank Lampard’s side.
For Tchaouna, the next step is straightforward in football terms: a switch from Burnley to Coventry City if the deal is completed as reported. For Coventry City, the only practical question left in the source material is whether the transfer is simply awaiting an official announcement or already functionally done.
