Coventry City are reputed to be showing interest in Athletic's young defender Neal Eardley. Speculation has been rife but the club have stated that they have not received any bids for the 19 year old. Charlton, West Brom and Liverpool are also keeping tabs on his progress. Eardley was successfully switched from full back to midfield near the end of last season and manager John Sheridan has stated that the Welsh International is still part of his plans for next season.
