Motherwell nearing loan deal for 'really good talent' Andrews

Motherwell are "working towards" a deal for 18-year-old Coventry midfielder Kai Andrews, Stuart Kettlewell has confirmed.

The Wales under-19 international is a player the Fir Park manager "really likes" and is hopeful of getting in on loan.

It's a position the club are looking to strengthen with Lennon Miller facing six to eight weeks out with an ankle fracture, Ross Callachan still working his way back from a long-term hamstring injury and both Callum Slattery and Sam Nicholson short of game time after lengthy lay-offs.

Andrews made two substitute appearances for English Championship side last season, but has not featured this term.

"He's a player I really like," the manager said as he previewed Wednesday's league game against Kilmarnock.

"I'll always be respectful in this, that until something is actually done, he's not our player.

"I've followed him for a while now and he's someone who's very highly regarded, a really, really good talent. I've been fortunate enough to watch him live, which is always good.

"So that is something that we're working towards, but I'd be respectful until that's actually signed, sealed and delivered – I don't want to step on anybody's toes at that point."
