'A phone call' - League One boss reveals Bright Enobakhare twist

The 21-year-old looks set to leave Molineux either on a permanent or loan deal before this evening’s deadline - although his move to Blues has hit the buffers for now

Wolves forward Bright Enobakhare was offered to Coventry City earlier this week.

Sky Blues boss Mark Robins revealed he was told the 21-year-old was open to returning to the club where he spent the end of last season.

The 21-year-old, who helped transform the Sky Blues with a sensational loan move from last January, looks set to leave Molineux either on a permanent or loan deal before this evening’s deadline.

He was all set to sign for City’s landlords Birmingham City but the deal has broken down due a failure to agree personal terms.

It remains to be seen if it can be resuscitated before tonight's 11pm deadline.

During Friday’s press conference Robins was asked if he planned to sign any players he initially told CoventryLive: “I’m categorically saying there will be no-one in.

“I have not made any secret of that. We have got players coming back from injury and still on that journey.”

But he also disclosed: “I think it would have to be something incredible to bring in. Bright Enobakhare was someone I had a phone call about the other day.

“And they were sort of making overtures that he’d be interested in coming back. Fine

“Then in the next breath there was change and he was on his way to Birmingham City.

“So it’s fluid but ultimately we haven’t set out to do anything because we haven’t had the money.

“And if I was to do something, someone else would have to move out so I could free things up for that.”.
