Fulham, Ipswich 'battling for former Arsenal academy product'

Fulham and Ipswich Town are reportedly both interested in signing Coventry City midfielder Ben Sheaf this summer.

Sheaf spent time in Arsenal's youth setup before heading out on three loan spells, including a temporary move to Coventry City in 2020-21.

After joining Coventry on a permanent basis in 2021, Sheaf has gone on to establish himself as a key figure in Mark Robins's side.

Sheaf helped the Sky Blues reach the 2022-23 Championship playoff finals, before he played his part in the club's recent FA Cup run.

In fact, the 26-year-old wore the captain's armband as Coventry fought back from three goals down in last month's semi-final, before a penalty-shootout defeat quashed their cup dreams.
