West Ham plot summer move for Haji Wright with Coventry City open to sale

Haji Wright could be on his way out of Coventry City at the end of the season, with West Ham United among several sides considering a summer move for the striker.

Despite sitting in the Premier League relegation zone, West Ham are confident they could still secure the 28-year-old’s signature even if they drop into the EFL Championship.

The United States men’s national soccer team international has delivered an impressive campaign in the Championship, though doubts remain over whether he can successfully make the jump to Premier League level.

According to former Coventry assistant boss Mick Brown, the club may be willing to sanction a sale if the right offer arrives. Wright is attracting attention from multiple clubs monitoring his situation at the CBS Arena, with the upcoming transfer window shaping up to be a pivotal one for West Ham.

Coventry facing key decision on Wright

Earlier reports suggested Coventry were determined to keep Wright as an important figure under Frank Lampard. However, with promotion to the Premier League looking increasingly likely, the club are now reassessing his long-term role and could consider bringing in a replacement.

Brown explained that Coventry must determine whether Wright fits their ambitions at a higher level, with internal doubts reportedly mirroring his own concerns about the striker’s ability to step up.

He suggested that if the club identify a stronger alternative, Wright could be moved on, especially given the level of interest building in both England and across Europe. West Ham are among the clubs ready to act, particularly as they view him as a strong option even in the Championship.

Other clubs tracking the situation

West Ham are unlikely to be alone in the race if Wright becomes available. Leeds United have also shown interest, having previously considered a move as Daniel Farke looks to strengthen his attacking options.

Leeds had explored striker reinforcements in January, including a move for Jørgen Strand Larsen before his switch to Crystal Palace. With other targets missed, Wright could re-emerge as a viable option if Coventry decide to sell.

His strong Championship performances have put him firmly on the radar, but questions over his readiness for the Premier League persist, leaving his future finely balanced heading into the summer.
