Coventry have signed Liverpool youngster Ryan Kent on loan until January.

The attacking midfielder could make his Sky Blues debut when they go to Scunthorpe in Sky Bet League One on Saturday.

Kent, 18, is yet to make his debut for Reds and moves to the Ricoh Arena as cover for the injured James Maddison, who is currently out with an ankle injury.

"Ryan is a player we've been tracking for some time and we're really excited about his potential," boss Tony Mowbray told the club's official site.

"With the injury to James Maddison, I felt it was important to bring in a player of a similar ilk and someone who possesses that technical ability in forward areas.

"He can handle the ball, play off both feet, play anywhere behind the main striker and has plenty of pedigree having featured for the England U20s last week.
