DERBY County midfielder John Eustace is unlikely to be heading back to Coventry City just yet, despite a report linking him with the Sky Blues.
Coventry manager Steven Pressley made an enquiry about Eustace when he left Watford before joining Derby and Eustace has always maintained that he would like to play for the club again at the end of his career.
He is quoted as saying: "When the time comes I'd love to end my career at Coventry. It would be nice to go full circle and finish where I started off."
But Eustace is very much a part of Derby's plans going into the new season.
The 34-year-old signed a new one-year deal this summer and played a key role last season as the anchorman in midfield before he lost his place to George Thorne, who was on loan from West Bromwich Albion.
Eustace is currently the recognised "holding midfielder" in the squad although Derby are keen to sign Thorne.
Even if Thorne does arrive, it would be a surprise if Derby let Eustace leave.
