Former Huddersfield Town star Jack Rudoni is reportedly likely to leave Coventry City amid reports of interest from the likes of Leeds United and Sheffield United.
He had been a creative spark in the Huddersfield midfield but sought pastures new after the club tumbled into League One.
Rudoni enjoyed a strong maiden campaign in the Midlands, helping Coventry reach the play-offs under the tutelage of Frank Lampard.

However, since Coventry’s semi-final defeat to Sunderland, speculation regarding Rudoni’s future has surfaced.
Jack Rudoni transfer talk
Leeds and Sheffield United have both been linked with the playmaker, as have established Premier League outfit Newcastle United and Championship-bound sides Leicester City and Southampton.
It has previously been suggested Rudoni is happy at Coventry, but it has now been claimed a move is likely for the AFC Wimbledon academy graduate.
Speaking to EFL Analysis, reporter Graeme Bailey said: “With Rudoni, obviously Coventry are assessing it. They will sell, though.
“We’ve seen the links to the Premier League; Leeds and Newcastle. I think Rudoni will go, but it’s just a matter of where he’ll end up. I think the player himself is going to be assessing it, but I think he will go this summer.
“There’s Premier League interest in there. But, I think the interest is stronger in the Championship as of now. He’s waiting to see what happens. I don’t think it’s 100 per cent where he goes just yet, as in which league he goes to. But an exit is likely.”

Playmaker needed in Yorkshire
There is an argument to be made that both Leeds and Sheffield United need to recruit an attack-minded midfielder this summer.
Leeds won the Championship title with Brenden Aaronson in the ‘number 10’ role, but he flattered to deceive during his last spell in the Premier League.
Sheffield United, meanwhile, may find themselves tested with offers for the creative Gustavo Hamer. Leeds have been linked with the midfielder, who joined the Blades from Coventry in 2023.
