Coventry City striker Haji Wright is rumored to be set to leave the club in January.
West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing the player, but Coventry City are unwilling to allow him to leave. They told the London club they would have to pay a world record transfer fee of around £200m to sign the player.
West Ham are in desperate need of a quality striker but cannot afford to pay that much for a 27-year-old.
Meanwhile, Leeds United are also interested in the player (h/t LeedsUnitedNews). However, there is no doubt that Leeds will move on to other targets after learning how much Coventry City demand of him.
They could score more goals in attack and signing another striker would be ideal for them. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has performed very well since joining Leeds United, but he needs more support in attack.
Leeds are fighting to survive in the Premier League and need all the quality they can get. They will be desperate to stay in the Premier League this season. Signing another striker could mean big changes for them going forward. It remains to be seen whether they will be able to acquire the necessary reinforcements during the January transfer window and solidify their place in the Premier League next season.
As for Wright, he hopes to compete at a high level in the future, but he certainly can’t imagine leaving in January. It will be interesting to see if clubs like West Ham and Leeds United decide to bring Wright back at the end of the season. The American international is a quality player who can improve both teams.
