Tom Grennan has offered to pay for a Coventry City fan from Argentina to fly to the UK for the Championship play-off final at Wembley.

The singer has stepped in after a petition was started to help fund the cost for supporter Lauti to get to the final against Luton next weekend.

Lauti, who's travelled to the UK before to watch his beloved Sky Blues, said he was planning to sell his car so he could catch a flight and buy a ticket.

Fellow Sky Blue Grennan has stepped in, tweeting that he'd foot the bill:

In another tweet, Grennan said: "Devastated to miss the game, but instead I'll pay for this lad to come over for the game. Does he have a ticket? Someone let me know #PUSB #VAMOS"

Around 25,000 tickets have been sold for the play-off final against Luton Town at Wembley.

The Sky Blues have been allocated 36,237 tickets for the game, with a place in the Premier League being the prize for the winner.

Kick-off for the game is at 4:45pm on Saturday 27th May.
