  Jordan Clarke set to sign Coventry City deal
  IT'S a case of back to business for Coventry City manager Andy Thorn this week after returning from what he admits was a bit of a busman's holiday.

  The Sky Blues' boss is keen to get his summer transfer deals done in time for the players' return for pre-season training on July 1 and insists: "We are all ready to go.
  "The phone hasn't stopped ringing while I've been away and hopefully everything will fall into place."
  As well as waiting on decisions from Keiren Westwood and Aron Gunnarsson, Thorn is hoping a number of younger players will commit themselves to the club after being made formal offers to stay at the Ricoh Arena.
  Right-back Jordan Clarke (pictured) is understood to have agreed his new three-year deal and is set to sign for his home-town club.
  The 19-year-old defender is highly rated by Thorn, who played him in eight of his ten games at the end of last season and clearly sees him as a first-choice candidate next term.
  One-year deals have been offered to last season's second-choice goalkeeper Danny Ireland and rookie forwards Shaun Jeffers and Callum Wilson, while centre-back Nathan Cameron also has a new three-year deal on the table.
  And although the young players had been stalling amid concerns that agents were getting in the way of some of the decisions, it is understood that all four have indicated they would like to sign and City are now waiting for them to return from their holidays before putting pen to paper.
  Clarke and Cameron, meanwhile, are waiting to hear if they will be included in Brian Eastick's England Under-20 squad for the forthcoming World Cup in Colombia.
  The pair played for the Young Lions in a 2-1 friendly defeat against France in February and are hoping to make a 21-man squad that faces tough Group F opposition against DPR Korea, Argentina and Mexico this summer.
