Last updated : 05 January 2016 By CNS Staff

Coventry City are closing in on a deal to sign Joe Cole from Aston Villa on a permanent basis.

Tony Mowbray said that there is a lot of things that needed to be talked about but it is hoped that a deal could be done this week.

Speaking to the Coventry Telegraph, Mowbray said: “I think the player will help us but there’s a number of discussions to be had, not just with our football club and the clubs concerned.

“There’s no way we could pay similar sorts of salary levels so they’ll have discussions with their parent clubs and after that we need to have discussions with their advisors. So there’s lots of stuff to be talked about.”
