COVENTRY City have completed the signing of Switzerland international defender Aurele Amenda from Eintracht Frankfurt for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old spent the summer at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Switzerland and joins the Sky Blues for a reported £17.2million fee.

Amenda made 42 appearances for Bundesliga side Frankfurt after starting his career with Young Boys in his native Switzerland.

Amenda said: “I’m really happy and it’s a privilege to be here.

“After the first call with the gaffer, I felt the trust and I liked the project, so I feel this is a really good step for me.

“I cannot wait to meet everyone at the club, especially the fans but of course my teammates.




“I like to defend my goal but I like to play, I’m really calm with the ball so I can help the team with this.

“I want to win, I want to help the team and help the club succeed.


“I’m really looking forward to playing in this beautiful stadium, to meet the fans, to celebrate with them, to win with them.

“I want to score here as well so I can’t wait to get started.”

Amenda becomes Coventry’s third summer signing following the arrivals of Loum Tchaouna from Burnley and Frank Onyeka from Brentford.

The centre-back did not feature for Switzerland at the World Cup this summer as his country reached the quarter-finals of the competition.
