We’re still waiting for him to be bloomin’ brilliant but Gus Hamer is heading the right way

Andy Turner reports that midfielder Gustavo Hamer is working hard to secure a regular starting spot in Frank Lampard's Coventry City side after a slow start to his return. The 29-year-old rejoined the club in the summer for £6 million from Sheffield United but has registered only 44 minutes of Premier League football across four substitute appearances this season.

Turner highlights Hamer's determination, noting that the midfielder featured for Liam Kelly's Under-21 side in a 2-0 victory over Swansea alongside Jake Bidwell shortly after returning from a match against Tottenham. Lampard previously praised Hamer's finishing and work rate following a 90-minute Carabao Cup performance against Aston Villa.
