Coventry City have officially announced the signing of defender Aurele Amenda from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth more than £17 million. The 22-year-old Swiss defender has a base fee of £15.4 million, with an additional £1.7 million depending on the terms of his contract. Amenda signed a 4-year contract with the newly promoted Premier League team.
Amenda is said to have been convinced by what coach Frank Lampard and Coventry's recruitment team presented. He shared: "After the first call with the coach, I felt the trust and I like this project, so I feel this is a very good step for me. I can't wait to meet everyone at the club, especially the fans and of course my teammates. I like to defend, but I also like to play football, I'm very calm with the ball so I can help the team in these situations."
Aurele Amenda was part of the Swiss team that reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, although he did not get a chance to play in the tournament. The deal also marks Coventry's third addition of the summer, after they signed winger Loum Tchaouna from Burnley and midfielder Frank Onyeka, who moved from Brentford.
Coventry is still looking to add goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton but so far they have not been able to reach an agreement. Meanwhile, Chelsea's Filip Jorgensen is seen as a potential replacement. After extending Lampard's contract this summer, Coventry kicked off pre-season with a 2-3 loss to Wimbledon in a behind-closed-doors friendly. They will face Northampton Town and Espanyol as they prepare for their first season in the Premier League after a 25-year absence.
What happens next
Coventry City will continue to look for additional contracts, especially goalkeeper Carl Rushworth from Brighton, to complete the squad before the Premier League season starts. The arrival of Amenda along with other rookies such as Loum Tchaouna and Frank Onyeka will create strong competition in the squad.
