DONE DEAL: Forest youngster Panzo joins Coventry on loan

Coventry City have signed Nottingham Forest's England Under-21 defender Jonathan Panzo on a season-long loan.

Panzo, who came through the ranks at Chelsea, becomes Coventry's third summer signing of the summer.

The 21-year-old defender has represented England at every youth level including U21s.

"We are delighted to be able to bring Jonathan to Coventry City," manager Mark Robins told the club's website.

"He is someone we know well and he's someone we've wanted to bring in for a long time.

"Jonathan is a really good player. He's young and hungry and he wants to do well and we are looking forward to working with him.

"He's versatile, he can play on the left of a three, in a four and on the left-hand side and he helps us in that area after losing Jake Clarke-Salter and Ian Maatsen.

"I'd also like to thank Steve Cooper and Nottingham Forest for their cooperation in getting this deal complete."
