Paterson, 33, scored the winner for the Sky Blues in their 1-0 win at home to Portsmouth last time out. They are back in action this evening away at Hull City.
Lampard has said, as per a report by CoventryLive: “I managed against Pato when I was at Derby and he was playing for Bristol City, and I remember analysing him and worrying about their wingers on both sides, and Pato was sharp. And when the opportunity came I looked at his record and spoke to a couple of people who had worked with him and it was all glowing.
“And his record at this level, he scores goals, and has done throughout his career so that made it an easy one. And then the Coventry link and how he feels about the club was the icing on the cake, I guess.”
