FOOTBALL - Coventry City 'keen' on signing Everton goalkeeper Mark Travers

COVENTRY City are ‘keen’ on signing Everton goalkeeper Mark Travers with the club still in the market for a shot-stopper ahead of the 2026/27 season.

According to Sky Sports, the Sky Blues hold a ‘keen’ interest in the goalkeeper who did not make a single Premier League appearance for the Toffees last term.

Championship side Wrexham have also shown an interest in Travers but may make a move for Sunderland’s Anthony Patterson instead.

The 27-year-old Republic of Ireland international played just twice in the EFL Cup for Everton last season after moving to Goodison Park from Bournemouth last summer.

Travers played 24 games for Bournemouth in the Premier League after progressing through the club’s academy and played a key role in the club’s promotion back to the top flight in 2021/22.

During Bournemouth’s promotion-winning campaign, Travers won the Championship golden glove award and the club’s player of the year prize.




He spent time on loan at Stoke City and Middlesbrough in recent seasons and has earned six caps for Ireland.

Coventry remain in talks with Brighton and Hove Albion over a deal which would see goalkeeper Carl Rushworth return to the Sky Blues in a permanent deal.


Brighton have already turned down a club-record bid from Coventry for Rushworth who played all 46 games for Coventry last season during a successful loan spell.
