🎧Is Torp suited to Premier League?
· Yahoo Sports
The team on BBC CWR's Coventry City Fancast have been discussing Victor Torp signing a new deal.
Midfielder Torp, 26, signed from Sarpsborg 08 in January 2024 and has made more than 100 appearances and scored 17 goals.

Supporter Jed told the Fancast: "I think potentially he does deserve a new deal. I definitely think he can play a part in the Premier League. And if we are going to potentially move him on, whether it's next summer, if he's under contract longer it's going to command a bit of a higher price."
Host Will Oelrich is concerned Torp might slip down the Sky Blues' pecking order as new names are linked with midfield berths.
But supporter Connor explained: "If you're a good player in the Championship you may not be a good player in the Premier League as the Championship is 46 games and you need to be a workhorse. Torp can be that but he's so good on the ball, technique is brilliant, crafty. I think he's more of a Premier League player than a Championship player and the higher ups at Coventry have seen that. The kind of qualities he possesses suit the Premier League more than the Championship. It's rare but in his case I think it's true. I genuinely think they have signed him because they think 'this guy is gong to prove himself in the Premier League'."
