Coventry City have signed Crystal Palace forward Romain Esse on loan for the rest of the season. He moved to Palace from Millwall in last year's January window for a reported initial fee of £12m and scored on his top-flight debut against Brentford. Esse has featured 17 times for the Eagles in all competitions and moves to the CBS Arena to help boost Frank Lampard's Championship leaders' push for promotion. "I'm delighted to join Coventry City," Esse said., external"I'm excited to express myself on the pitch and help us fight for our goal and I can't wait to get started." He becomes the Sky Blues' second signing of the transfer window after Tottenham winger Yang Min-hyeok joined on loan on Tuesday.
