Coventry City striker Fabio Tavares is on the verge of completing a permanent move to League One side Burton Albion, sources have confirmed. The 23-year-old, who joined Coventry from Rochdale in 2021, is seeking regular first-team football after limited opportunities in the Championship.
Tavares made headlines with a stunning last-minute goal against Preston North End in 2022, but found consistent game time hard to come by under Mark Robins. With Coventry strengthening their attacking options in recent windows, the Portuguese forward has slipped down the pecking order.
Burton Albion have moved quickly to secure Tavares’ services, seeing him as a key addition to boost their attacking threat for the upcoming season. The deal is expected to be finalized in the coming days, with personal terms already agreed and a medical scheduled.
Tavares is eager to prove himself at the senior level and will look to reignite his career with the Brewers. His pace, sharp movement, and eye for goal could prove vital for Burton as they aim for a stronger campaign in League One.
Both clubs are yet to release official statements, but the move appears imminent.
