Coventry boss Mowbray has shock news for Newcastle striker Armstrong...

Coventry City boss Tony Mowbray doesn't see Adam Armstrong as a natural striker.

The on-loan Newcastle United forward has scored eight goals this season.

Mowbray said: “I believe, and I have been trying to tell him this for weeks now, it is probably his best position. Just because he's fast doesn't mean he has to play on shoulders and run in behind teams.

“He is very technical and as we saw numerous times – he gets the ball, turns away from his marker and runs into space, so it is something we'll look at and progress and hopefully he'll enjoy the role."
