Coventry City were electric on Saturday afternoon, as they registered their biggest Championship victory at home to QPR.
The Sky Blues ran out 7-1 winners in a dominant performance at the CBS Arena, just hours after the club purchased their stadium from Mike Ashley.
It’s an exciting time to be a supporter of the West Midlands side, and Frank Lampard has got his team playing exciting and expansive attacking football that has got supporters off their seats on a number of occasions already.
However, one key Coventry player from last season is set to depart before the transfer window slams shut on 1 September at 7pm, but they will bring in a substantial fee for him.

Coventry City set to land significant fee as Milan van Ewijk prepares for Wolfsburg move
Milan van Ewijk has registered three assists in three games so far this season for the Sky Blues, but he is now set to leave the Championship and join Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg.
According to a report from Sacha Tavolieri, the full-back is closing in on a move to Germany, with a deal worth €12m (£10.4m) being negotiated between the two clubs.
Van Ewijk himself has agreed a four-year contract at Wolfsburg, with an initial €10m being paid to Coventry, with €2m coming in add-ons.
The deal is at an advanced stage, with the final parts of the transfer now being finalised before the 24-year-old joins Die Wölfe.

Kaine Kesler-Hayden will be ready to step up
Since arriving from Aston Villa for £3.5m, Kaine Kesler-Hayden has had to be patient at the CBS Arena, with his two appearances in the Championship coming from off the bench so far.
However, with van Ewijk now heading out of the door at Coventry, Kesler-Hayden will become a more important player for Lampard and he must be prepared for the challenge that awaits him.
The 22-year-old is the perfect replacement for the Dutch full-back, and there is no denying that the Sky Blues made the move for the ex-Preston North End loanee as van Ewijk’s future was up for debate earlier in the summer.
Yet, he now must take his chance as Coventry look to overtake Stoke City and Middlesbrough at the top of the Championship table this weekend.
