Amenda 'liked the project' for Coventry move

[Getty Images] New Coventry City defender Aurele Amenda said "I felt the trust and I liked the project" as he signed for the Sky Blues from Eintracht Frankfurt. The 22-year-old centre-back has signed a four-year contract and cost an initial £15.4m, with a further £1.7m in add-ons. "I'm really happy and it's a privilege to be here," Amenda told club media. "After the first call with the gaffer, I felt the trust and I liked the project, so I feel this is a really good step for me. "I cannot wait to meet everyone at the club, especially the fans but, of course, my team-mates. "I like to defend my goal but I like to play. I'm really calm with the ball so I can help the team with this." Amenda was part of the Switzerland squad which reached the World Cup quarter-finals, but did not make an appearance at the tournament. He added: "I want to win. I want to help the team and the club succeed. I'm really looking forward to playing in this beautiful stadium, to meet the fans, to celebrate with them, to win with them. "I want to score here as well so I can't wait to get started."
