I´m swedish and yes, he has been talked up quite a bit in the media the last month.
Most pundits see him as up and coming but that it needs to be a sustained goalstreak for the coach to even consider him. The attackers are Swedens strongest part of the squad so it won´t be easy but he is young and has played in a couple of friendlies in 2019. They are keeping their eyes on him to quote the Sweden manager.
Personally I dont want him to be picked, he has too many good things about him, young, good size, scores and is quite technical for a big lad, If he gets to play internationally he´ll be off very quickly. Fortunatley I don´t think he will, World Cup starts in 12 months and he wasn´t picked for this break no way will he get in by then. The national team here is like the freemasons... difficult to get in but once you´re in you stay for life.
Lots of talk about the Sky Blues here though...Classic club on the rise and all that. Cov has got a pretty decent fanbase in Scandinavia especially Sweden and Norway.
Cokehead Hedman´s rant on live swedish TV in the 90´s how Cov could match the Swedish national team is legendary.
According to his book he played high at Highfield road for City. Go figure.
