Legend and former Skipper Arjan De Zeeuw looks likely to extend his career by signing for Iain Dowies Coventry City.

The 37-year old Dutchman, with over 300 Premiership appearances with Wigan and Portsmouth, was linked with a move to Leicester, now owned by former Portsmouth owner Milan Mandaric.

However it's likely that De Zeeuw could become Dowies second summer signing. Ellery Cairo, Coventrys first signing and felllow dutchman has the same agent as the former Latics legend.

Coventry assistant Manager Tim Flowers said of De Zeeuw: ""I have spoken to Arjan, who has got options, but we are quite a way down the line with him.

"He is an intelligent lad and will bring great leadership skills. Everyone we have spoken to can't speak highly enough of him."
