Frank Lampard has made it clear that Coventry City still have work to do in the transfer market this summer.
The Sky Blues kicked off the 2025/26 Championship campaign with a 0-0 draw at home against Hull City.
Coventry were denied the chance of earning promotion last season in the play-offs with defeat against Sunderland.
The Black Cats then beat Sheffield United to seal their place in the Premier League.
Lampard and co are looking to go one step further this year, but the transfer window hasn’t been quite as busy as he would have liked.
There have only been three first-team arrivals so far with Kaine Kesler-Hayden, Miguel Angel Brau and Carl Rushworth coming in.
Meanwhile, Luis Binks, Jamie Paterson, Jack Burroughs, Fabio Tavares and Ryan Howley have all left.
What did Frank Lampard say after Coventry’s draw?
Though Lampard is hopeful of more incomings when speaking exclusively to talkSPORT’s Adam Bridge, as he said: “We want to improve the squad. It is important we do that.
“I am not going to sit here and talk about that because it would be stupid to add to the rumour mill and talk about what we want.
“We know, and we are working to do it. This club works in a very sensible way in how we try and work.
“But I am demanding because I want us to be successful and want us to be able to compete.
“At times, we will need the squad to have good competition, as that is how you get up there. We’ll see with that, and at the moment, we’ll keep going.”
Dan Ballard’s goal at the Stadium of Light last season ended Coventry’s promotion chargeGettyThe key thing for the Sky Blues is that the majority of their key players have remained.
While Matt Grimes and Haji Wright are still Coventry players, but there have been suggestions that Jack Rudoni could leave.
The midfielder has been linked with Newcastle United, but Lampard is focused on incomings.
Against Hull, Coventry accumulated an xG of 0.87, firing in just three shots on target.
They had nearly 60 per cent of possession, but it’s clear they struggled in front of goal against a side who are widely tipped as one of the teams to go down.
However, Lampard was largely pleased with his team’s performance.
It was heartbreak for Lampard and co last seasonPAContinuing in his interview with Bridge, he remarked: “We performed okay.
“We were the dominant team in terms of possession and chances, and I was very happy with that. We get a clean sheet that I am happy with.
“They defended their box very diligently, and we had lots of nearly moments.
“But I was happy with the shape of the team and the way that we played.
“If you don’t win, don’t lose. I always want us to get three points, but they weren’t there today.”
Next up for Coventry in the Championship is a game against Derby County, and before that, they face Luton Town in the Carabao Cup.
