Coventry City have ended their interest in signing Wolves striker Freddy Eastwood.

The 24-year-old Wales international has endured an unhappy year ar Molineux following last summer's switch from Southend United, starting only 12 games for Mick McCarthy's side.

However, he appeared set for a move to the Ricoh Arena only for a last-minute hitch to scupper the £1million deal.

"We agreed terms with Wolves and Chris (Coleman) met with Freddy last week to discuss personal terms," said Sky Blues chairman Ray Ranson.

"We agreed what I would consider to be a very attractive four-year contract, but unfortunately the deal collapsed because of money the player is legally entitled to under the terms of his contract at Wolves.

"We are now searching high and low for a proven goalscorer in the Championship."

City are now being linked with Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison and Southampton's Grzegorz Rasiak.
