Ben Wilson, the goalkeeper for Coventry City, is probably going to aim for the departure if a new goalie is brought in, according to Coventry Live.
Since 2019, Coventry City has been home to ‘keeper Wilson,’ who joined on a free transfer when his Bradford City contract expired.
Prior to joining the Sky Blues, he was a well-traveled goalkeeper who had many loan stints away from Sunderland following his
Wilson was the starting ‘keeper for the Sky Blues throughout the 2022–2023 season, but in November 2023 Brad Collins took his place. As a result, there have been concerns over his future as his contract expires next summer.
While Wilson’s desire to compete for his starting spot is still up in the air, Coventry Live reports that the arrival of a new goalkeeper will probably cause him to consider a permanent departure.
Wilson’s goal would probably be to start football, and with Collins wearing the number one shirt the previous season, adding another “keeper” would lessen Wilson’s chances of doing so.
Wanted for a starting role?
Collins hadn’t had a consistent starting position with a permanent club before to joining Coventry City five years ago, as was previously mentioned.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Collins wishes to continue playing that role in the future. His tenure with the Sky Blues has demonstrated that he is more than capable of doing so, and his personality has helped him gain favor with fans and hold a significant role in the locker room.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Championship rivals looked at bringing him through the doors if the door were to open for him to go on this summer.
In the end, though, only time will tell how things work out for the Sky Blues. Mark Robins might not add a goalie, and even if he does, Wilson might continue to compete for a position on the squad despite rumors that he’s about to depart.
So far this summer, business
There will be additional signings after the current three who have entered the CBS Arena.
Luis Binks, the well-liked loan guy, has returned from Bologna, but this time on a long-term contract. In addition, Coventry City has extended a well-earned Championship welcome to midfielder Jack Rudoni, who was brought in from Huddersfield Town after their League One relegation.
Additionally, young winger Raphael Borges Rodrigues has signed with Macarthur, an Australian team. As a long-term alternative, he will provide a fresh danger.
There will undoubtedly be more additions, but only time will tell if one of them is a new goalkeeper and, if so, how it would affect Wilson’s long-term future with the team.
