Coventry City have made a statement of intent in the transfer market, completing a club-record deal for Ghana international midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi, according to BBC News.
The move comes as the Sky Blues prepare for life among the Premier League's elite, having earned promotion to the top flight. Bringing in Yirenkyi for a fee that eclipses any previous outlay in the club's history underlines the ambition at Coventry as they look to strengthen their squad for the step up in quality.
Details on the exact transfer fee and where Yirenkyi arrives from were not disclosed in the report, but the significance of the signing lies in what it represents — a club investing heavily to compete at the highest level of English football.
With the new Premier League season approaching, Coventry's business suggests they are not content to simply make up the numbers, and further additions may follow as they build a squad capable of surviving in the top division.
