Coventry have signed midfielder Bilal Sayoud on a two-year deal following a trial.

The 18-year-old has joined the club from the Nike Academy and the Sky Blues have a one-year extension in their favour.

Sayoud was a junior at Tottenham before joining the Nike Academy on a two-year apprenticeship to continue his development.

The London-born midfielder joined the club on trial and came on in the Under-21s' games against Bolton and Bristol City.

City boss Tony Mowbray told the club's official site: "Bilal joined the club on trial a few weeks back and has impressed during his short time at the club.

"As well as his two appearances for the Under-21 side, he also played in a training game at Ryton with other first-team members where he shone with his technical ability in wide areas."
