Coventry City have agreed a deal with Barnsley for defender Liam Kitching<\/a>, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 23-year-old is currently heading to Coventry to complete a medical and put pen to paper on his new deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitching has been a top target for the Sky Blues this summer, with the Championship side submitting several offers to Barnsley in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both parties have now finally agreed a fee and Kitching is set to complete his move before Friday’s transfer cut-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnsley currently sit 12th in League One after winning two of their opening games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitching has featured in four of Barnsley’s league matches before being left completely out of their matchday squad against Wigan last Saturday as talks progressed over his exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The young centre-back played a pivotal role in Barnsley’s promotion push last season, missing only one league game as he helped the Tykes to a fourth-placed finish in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He played every minute of Barnsley’s play-off run as the Yorkshire side fell to a last-gasp defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitching has been with Barnsley since joining the club from Forest Green Rovers in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During his two years at the Oakwell Stadium, Kitching has made 93 appearances for the club and has five goals to his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coventry manager Mark Robins is looking to strengthen his defence despite starting the 2023\/24 season by only conceding three goals in four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
