Striker Jon Stead has turned down his loan move to Coventry City, according to some of this morning's papers, although reports elsewhere claim the former Sheffield United man's switch is still in the balance.
The 26-year-old was due to continue talks with the Sky Blues yesterday regarding a loan move with a view to a permanent switch in the summer.
Coventry boss Chris Coleman was hoping to have Stead in his squad for today’s game with QPR but the former Fulham manager was unable to persuade the ex-England U21 international to join his club in time to be involved against Rangers for the second time in a week.
Reports in Coventry claim Stead is still considering whether to make the move having asked if he can think about the switch over the weekend.
