Coventry City have had their fair share of players over the years that have been signed for a sizeable amount, with some making more of an impact than others. 

The Sky Blues are currently playing their football in the Championship, but are in danger of dropping back into League One after one season in the second-tier.

Mark Robins' side are sat 20th in the second-tier standings, and are just four points clear of the relegation zone heading into their final nine matches of this year's campaign.

We take a look through the top-ten most expensive Coventry City signings, and see what they're up to nowadays.

Find out who kicks us off at number ten, on the next page....

Steve Frogatt is the first name on the list at number ten, with the former Coventry City man arriving at the club for a fee of £2.07million.

The Lincoln-born winger signed for the club in 1998 from Wolves, and went on to spend three years with Coventry, before retiring due to injury in 2001.

Frogatt was on the receiving end of a bad tackle from Sunderland's Nicky Summerbee back in February 2000. After trying to play on in future matches, he eventually underwent surgery on the injury.

But unfortunately, he failed to recover fully from that and called time on his playing career in 2001.

Dion Dublin is next up, with the former Sky Blues forward coming in at number eight, as he signed from Manchester United for a fee of £2.70million.

Dublin signed for Manchester United in 1992, after catching the eye with a number of impressive performances for Cambridge United, but found regular game time hard to come by with the Red Devils.

That wasn't the case with Coventry City though, as he made over 100 appearances for the club, before departing in 1998 in favour of a move to Aston Villa.

Dublin retired from his playing career in 2008 after a spell with Norwich City, and is now seen in the media industry as a pundit.

Viorel Moldovan is a player that didn't live up to the hype with Coventry City, after moving to the club in 1998 from Swiss side Grasshopper Club Zürich.

He signed for the Sky Blues for a fee of £2.97million, but only made a handful of appearances for the club though, and left in 1998, as he moved to Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

After an impressive spell with them, he went on to sign for the likes of Nantes and Servette, before calling time on his playing career in 2007 whilst with Rapid București.

Moldovan has gone on to manage a number of clubs, including the Romanian Under-21s team. He is currently in charge of FC Petrolul Ploiești though.

Breen is joint-sixth on the list, as he signed from Birmingham City for a fee of £3.38million back in 1997.

The centre-back had previously played for the likes of Gillingham and Peterborough United before then, and went on to feature regularly for Coventry City in his five-year spell with the club.

He departed in 2002 in favour of a move to West Ham United, before going on to play for Sunderland and Wolves, before calling time on his career whilst with Barnet.

He previously had a coaching spell with Barnet and Peterborough United since retiring from his playing career in 2010.

Carsley signed for Coventry City in 2000 for a fee of £3.38million. He arrived having made a good impression with Blackburn Rovers.

He went on to spend two years with the Sky Blues, before departing in 2002, in favour of a move to Everton, where he went on to spend six years in the Premier League.

Carsley returned to Coventry City in 2010, before calling time on his playing career a year later in 2011.

He had two spells as Coventry City's caretaker manager, whilst also briefly managing Brentford and Birmingham City. He is now in charge of the England Under-20s team, which is a role he has held since 2020.

David Thompson is the first name in the top-five, with the former Coventry City midfielder signing for the club in 200 for a fee of £4.05million.

He arrived from Liverpool, and went on to spend two years with Coventry, before leaving in 2002. He was hugely impressive with the Sky Blues during the 2001/02 season, and caught the eye of Blackburn Rovers.

After his spell with Rovers, he went on to play for the likes of Wigan Athletic, Portsmouth and Bolton Wanderers later down the line, before calling time on his playing career in 2007.

Thompson previously worked as a pundit for BBC Radio Merseyside, but is now working with the Football Daily Podcast on BBC5Live.

Mustapha Hadji is next up, with the former Coventry City midfielder signing for the club for a fee of £5.40million.

He arrived from Spanish side Deportivo de La Coruña, after impressive spells with both Sporting Lisbon and French side Nancy.

Hadji went on to make over 50 appearances for Coventry City, before departing in 2001 in favour of a move to Aston Villa.

He then had spells with the likes of Espanyol and FC Saarbrücken, before calling time on his playing career after a spell with Fola Esch in Luxembourg.

Hadji is currently working as Morocco's assistant manager, which is a role he's had since 2014.

Lee Hughes is the first name in the top-three, with the former Coventry City forward signing for the club back in 2001 from West Brom.

The original upfront fee for the deal was £5.01million, but the fee later rose to £6.75million (as per Transfermarkt).

Hughes' spell with the Sky Blues was a brief one though, as he spent just one season with the club, before returning to West Brom in August 2002.

The forward went on to play for the likes of Port Vale, Forest Green Rovers and Worcester City. His most recent spell in the game was with Grantham Town back in 2020.

Robbie Keane narrowly missed out on the top spot on the list, with the Irishman signing for the club for a fee of £8.10million after add-ons.

Keane arrived at Coventry City from Wolves just weeks into the 1999/2000 season, and caught the eye with some impressive performances with the Sky Blues.

But again, his stay was brief with them, as he went on to be signed by Italian giants Inter Milan after just a year with Coventry City.

He went on to feature for the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and LA Galaxy, before calling time on his playing career in 2018 after a spell with Indian side ATK.

Keane has previously worked as an assistant for both the Republic of Ireland national team, and Middlesbrough in the past since retiring from his playing days.

Craig Bellamy tops the list as Coventry City's most expensive ever signing, with the Welshman signing for the club from Norwich City for a fee of £8.33million in total.

He caught the eye with a number of impressive performances for the Canaries, but didn't stay with Coventry City for very long, as he departed in 2001, after just one season with the Sky Blues.

Bellamy was signed by Newcastle United after Coventry City were relegated from the top-flight. He went on to play for the likes of Liverpool, West Ham United and Manchester City later down the line, before finishing his playing career with Cardiff City.

Bellamy is now the manager of the Anderlecht Under-21s team at this moment in time, which is a role he's held since 2019.
