Coventry City and Ipswich Town target Dutch-Ghanaian defender Tyrese Asante

Coventry City and Ipswich Town have both expressed strong interest in Tyrese Asante, with the English duo closely monitoring the Dutch-Ghanaian defender’s situation at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The 23-year-old, who is under contract with the Israeli giants until 2027 with an option for an additional year, will not come cheap. Any approach is expected to require a substantial bid given his long-term deal.

Coventry have already made enquiries to receive updated information on the player, underlining their intent to remain in the race. Ipswich, meanwhile, are also keeping a watchful eye, ensuring the Championship newcomers are in the conversation should an opportunity arise.

Asante, who has represented the Netherlands at U-21 level, has impressed with his consistent performances in Israel, further raising his profile among European scouts. His defensive awareness, versatility, and composure on the ball have made him an attractive option for clubs looking to reinforce their backline.

Currently valued at €1.4 million by Transfermarkt, Asante’s stock is expected to rise as speculation over his future intensifies. With weeks remaining in the transfer window, both Coventry and Ipswich are set to keep close tabs, with a clearer picture of his next step likely to emerge soon.
