Coventry have finally ended the long-running Freddy Eastwood saga when they agreed to sign the Wolves misfit today.
Both clubs and the player’s agent Neil Fewings have concluded negotiations earlier today. Wolves will receive a fee of around £1.2m for the Welsh international, who has signed a four-year contract.
Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey said: “We’ve agreed terms with Coventry and Freddy is due to have a medical later this afternoon.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the deal will be completed shortly. I would like to take this opportunity of sending him our best wishes for the future.”
Eastwood’s move had snagged on a settlement due on his contract, which was smoothed out.
In his one season at Molineux, the former Southend striker made 12 starts with a further 23 appearances from the bench, scoring four goals.
Coventry chairman Ray Ranson said: “Freddy has been a long term target for us and we’re delighted to concluded everything.
“Freddy fits the bill in terms of age and ability. We believe he’ll be a very exciting addition to the squad.”
“We told our supporters we would be strengthening the squad. Hopefully this is further evidence we’re doing just that.
Eastwood is to undergo a medical, before signing his contract and joining the squad on a pre-season tour of Switzerland on Monday.
The former Southend forward almost joined Coventry on loan in March before the deal fell through at the 11th hour.
