West Ham has shown interest in Coventry City’s Callum O’Hare, according to reports from The Guardian. The Premier League club is considering a move for the midfielder once the transfer window opens after the season ends. O’Hare, whose contract expires in June, is expected to become a free agent, leaving Coventry without compensation.
Despite recent injury setbacks, the 25-year-old returned to form towards the end of 2023, contributing significantly to his team’s performance with six goals and three assists, including a notable role in their FA Cup semi-final run.
Neil Littlewood, a Coventry fan pundit for FLW, believes O’Hare has the potential to excel in the Premier League, citing his standout performance against Manchester United in the FA Cup. Littlewood expressed surprise at the West Ham link, considering previous expectations of O’Hare joining Celtic.
Kieran McKenna, speaking ahead of Ipswich’s match against Coventry, praised O’Hare’s technical ability and growth in goals and assists this season, foreseeing him as a valuable addition to any Premier League squad.
However, Coventry’s failure to secure a playoff spot means O’Hare’s remaining matches with the club are limited, with his departure as a free agent representing a significant loss for Coventry, who could have potentially garnered over £10 million in transfer fees for him.
