Coventry City have signed Nike Academy graduate Bilal Sayoud on a two year deal, the club have confirmed. 

The Sky Blues decided to sign the attacking midfielder after an impressive trial at the club, and his deal also has an option for an extra year.

The 18 year old is a former Tottenham Hotspur trainee but has signed for the club from the Nike Academy.

During his time at the academy, he played against teams including Inter Milan, Roma and Barcelona.

The London born youngster played two under 21 games for Coventry whilst on trial, and impressed against both Bolton and Bristol City.

Coventry boss Tony Mowbray told the clubs official website:

“Bilal joined the club on trial a few weeks back and has impressed during his short time at the club.
“As well as his two appearances for the Under-21s side, he also played in a training game at Ryton with other first-team members where he shone with his technical ability in wide areas.
“Bilal has plenty of impressive attributes at such a young age and I believe we can help him fulfil his potential over the course of his time with the club.
“It is another deal which we’ve done with one eye on the future with this being his first professional contract and I’m looking to forward to working with him in the future.”
