BOSS Mark Robins underlined Coventry's determination to keep star man Callum O'Hare after he inspired the Sky Blues to a stunning late victory over Leicester.
The midfielder netted twice as the hosts scored three goals in the final 11 minutes to beat the ten-man Foxes.
O'Hare levelled before Milan van Ewijk fired Coventry ahead with two minutes left and then added a third in stoppage time.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's penalty gave Leicester the lead, but Abdul Fatawu's red card in first half injury time gave Coventry the impetus.
O'Hare's deal expires in the summer and Robins insisted the club will do everything they can to keep him, with the two-goal man having recovered from a serious knee injury.
Robins said: "You've got to wait for that. We can only do so much but we will 100 per cent want to keep him. Whatever happens it won't be for the want of trying or not wanting to do it from our part.
"Looking at characteristics of people in teams, he epitomises. what we want to do. He is brave, goes after things, a good communicator, an effervescent character and has added goalscoring to it.
