Coventry City FC: Coventry City FC have announced the signing of Swiss defender Aurele Amenda on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

The 22-year-old central defender joined from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, where he made 42 appearances over his two seasons at Deutsche Bank Park.

Amenda was part of Switzerland's 26-man squad for the World Cup but did not make an appearance as they reached the quarter-finals, ultimately losing to Argentina in extra time.

On his move to Coventry City in the Premier League, Amenda said: “I’m really happy and it’s a privilege to be here.

“After the first call with the gaffer, I felt the trust and I liked the project, so I feel this is a really good step for me. I like to defend my goal but I like to play, I’m really calm with the ball so I can help the team with this. I want to win, I want to help the team and help the Club succeed. I’m really looking forward to playing in this beautiful stadium, to meet the fans, to celebrate with them, to win with them. I want to score here as well so I can’t wait to get started," he said.

The Swiss international began his career at BSC Young Boys in his homeland. He made his debut at the age of 18 and went on to play 42 times overall and played his part in their league and cup winning campaign in the 2022/23 season.
