Coventry have stepped up there search for players by reportdly eyeing Moroccan Yassine Abdellaoui. Coventry boss Gary Mcallister is in the hunt for new players to strenghen his playoff hopes and Moroccan player Yassine Abdellaoui is reported to be top of his list.

Abdellaoui has just left NAC Breda where he was only on a short term contract and has stated himself he would love to play in England.

Mcallister is hoping to get the player in on trial with a view to keeping him at Highfield Road till the end of the season , he should feel at home at Coventry they have Moroccan stars Youssef Chippo and Youssef Safri already at the club and the language barrier should not be a problem either.

Abdellaoui has been on trial in England once already but at West Ham nothing geled for him and he is determined to make a second chance count hopefully with Coventry.
