Albion midfielder Yasin Ayari has joined Coventry City on a season-long loan.

He joins the club for whom his fellow Swede Viktor Gyokeres shone last season.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi said last week he wants Ayari to play 50 to 55 matches this season if possible.

The Sky Blues are off to a solid start to the new Championship campaign with four points from three games after narrowly missing out on promotion last term.

De Zerbi said: “It is important for Yasin to go out and play games on loan and of course we will keep an eye on his performances.”

The Seagulls boss has also suggested there could be loan deals for Facundo Buonanotte and Steven Alzate while Andi Zeqiri has been linked with several clubs in europe.
