Coventry City Executive Vice Chairman and MD Chris Anderson has said that he is sad to see James Maddison leaving the Sky Blues and signing for Norwich City.
Anderson told the Coventry Telegraph: "We’re sad to see James leave the club but wish him all the best for the future.
“It was with great reluctance that we accepted Norwich’s offer but the deal provides a level of revenue which will help the club grow in the future to build a successful squad beyond the rest of this season.
“It was imperative from both the club’s and James’ perspective that he see out the rest of the season with us and help us in our push for promotion.
“Now, a Coventry City Academy graduate has the chance to showcase his skills at the top level of the game, and that is something the club can be very proud of.
“Also, on a human level, we didn’t want to stand in the way of James’ potential career progression and deny him the chance to play in the Premier League.”
