Eastwood deal ‘could happen’
Wednesday 9th July 2008, 11:49AM BST.
Coventry have given Wolves a glimmer of hope over the Freddy Eastwood saga after Chris Coleman said the £1.2m deal isn’t dead.The transfer of the former Southend striker to the Sky Blues has remained deadlocked for two weeks because of a dispute over settlement on Eastwood’s contract.
Wolves maintain they have done all they are prepared to do to make the transfer happen.
At the same time they are refusing to budge any more on their side of the deal and have tried to persuade Eastwood and his advisors that they should accept Sky Blues’ terms or risk more frustration at Molineux.
Eastwood has been offered a four-year contract which matches his Wolves wages, with the chance to earn more with appearance money and bonuses, plus a settlement on his Wolves deal.
Now Coventry boss Coleman has dropped a hint of encouragement that Eastwood can still become a Sky Blues player.
“I wouldn’t say it’s finished but it’s gone quiet,” said Coleman. “But football being football, who knows?
“It could happen tomorrow or it might never happen, I don’t know.”
