Fans expecting Milan exit after Kaine's arrival

COVENTRY City fans appear resigned to losing Milan van Ewijk this summer following the arrival of Kaine Kesler-Hayden from Aston Villa.
-
Although the Sky Blues ideally need two recognised right-backs to be competing for the defensive berth, speculation about the Dutchman's departure gathered pace this week when he switched agents, signing up with the high-profile CAA Stellar group agency that looks after players including the likes of Manchester City's Jack Grealish, Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate, Chelsea's Liam Delap and former Sky Blues midfielder Gustavo Hamer.
That comes on top of renewed links with interest from Fulham, while Galatasaray and Everton have also been reported to be admirers of the attacking fullback - one of City’s more saleable assets.
But while fans would dearly love to see both Van Ewijk and Kesler-Hayden battle it out for the shirt next term, many would be comfortable with a sale as long as the club get a decent return on the player who cost a reported £3.4million from SC Heerenveen in 2023.
Here’s what supporters have been saying in the wake of the latest development:
Neil Wood: It is what it is. Get a good price and wish him well if it happens. Bought the replacement already, would just need to find a young RB to act as cover.
