Coventry loan for Arsenal kid Ben Sheaf includes permanent option (& price)

Coventry City's loan swoop for Arsenal youngster Ben Sheaf includes a permanent option - for a set price.

The Sun says the 22-year-old was set to join the Championship side - with an option to buy at the end of the deal for £750,000.

Sheaf publicly stated his intentions to break into Arsenal's first-team this season.

But the 22-year-old admitted he is "delighted" after joining Mark Robins' side on loan.

He said: "I'm delighted, it's been a long process, but I'm absolutely delighted to get it done and meet all the lads and the first day has been good.

"It took a little while, probably a little longer than I would have liked but now it's done I just want to get settled, start training and hopefully get a few match minutes, because I've not had that in a while so I'm looking forward to it."
