Coventry Misfit: Mifsud bid

Barnsley have made a bid for Coventry striker Michael Mifsud, skysports.com understands.

Mifsud's future at Coventry has been the subject of intense speculation for some time with the player out of contract in the summer.

A number of clubs are thought to have expressed an interest in the Malta international with Coventry preferring to cash-in on him rather than risk losing him for nothing in the summer.

Barnsley are believed to have tabled a bid in the region of £300,000 as they look to tempt Coventry into doing business before the close of the transfer window.

Tykes boss Simon Davey is keen to bolster his attack as he looks to secure their safety in the Championship and he is hoping to team up Mifsud with his international team-mate Daniel Bogdanovic who moved to Oakwell earlier this week.
