COVENTRY City manager Chris Coleman is chasing down out of contract Crystal Palace star Clinton Morrison.

After signing Freddy Eastwood from Wolves last week the Sky Blues boss immediately turned his attention to teaming him up with Morrison, who is also wanted by QPR and Reading.

Coventry City chairman Ray Ranson confirmed: "We are still interested in Clinton Morrison, although nothing is imminent. But we are interested in quality players."

However, Chris Coleman has to trim his existing squad to make way for the out of contract Crystal Palace striker, which means getting big earners like Kevin Kyle off the wage bill to facilitate it.
