Manchester City youngster Callum Doyle has admitted that it is Coventry City's style of play that has convinced him to join the Championship club.
The centre-back, who scored in England's Under-19s' 3-1 victory over Israel in the final of the European Championship last month, has joined the Sky Blues on loan for the duration of the forthcoming campaign. He spent last season on loan at Sunderland, helping them earn promotion to the Championship via the League One play-offs.
The City youngster up 35 appearances for Sunderland and played a key role in helping them return to the second-tier after four seasons in League One. After impressing at League One level, Doyle has now earned the chance to impress in the Championship, with a loan move to Mark Robins' side the ideal next step in his development.

"I'm buzzing to finally get it over the line. I’m happy to be here and I can't wait to get started," Doyle told the Sky Blues' club website. "The playing style here suits me, the way that I bring the ball out and the way that I link up with players. It suits me down to a tee.
"I'm very composed on the ball. I like to have it at my feet, so that's what fans can expect from me this season. I spoke to the manager here at the training ground and over the phone while I was away, and it is clear that the football here suits me."
Coventry boss Robins added: "He is a really good player with a lot of potential, who we know a lot about, and we're all looking forward to working with him. Callum is a regular in the England set-up and was a key player in helping the Under-19s win the European Championships only a few weeks ago, scoring in the final.
"He enjoyed a successful first season with Sunderland, helping them win promotion and, as I say, we are very happy to be able to welcome him to the club. "I'd also like to thank everyone at Manchester City for their cooperation in Callum joining us this season."
