Writing on Twitter, reliable source and club insider ExWHUemployee has shared ‘great news‘ for West Ham as exciting youngster and potential future star Conor Coventry recovers from his foot injury – with the Irishman even available to turn out for the Under-23s squad on Friday afternoon.
Indeed, the Hammers youngsters are set to be back in action against Southampton at Rush Green, and ExWHUemployee has shared that promising midfield starlet Coventry will join them after his lay-off.
Coventry returns from injury
West Ham offered the 20-year-old a new three-year deal in January 2020, perhaps highlighting just how highly rated he is within the club (West Ham United).
Coventry did end up penning the contract until summer 2023, with manager David Moyes now potentially hoping he can kick on from his latest injury setback and work his way into the first team.
ExWHUemployee claims that he is certain to play against the Saints’ youngsters this evening as he makes his comeback, which is ‘great news‘ according to the insider.
Transfer Tavern take
Dubbed the ‘Irish Iniesta’ by Lincoln City whilst he was on loan there last season, GSB and co may be boosted by his return as they seek to further his development. The very fact they signed him up to an extended deal while he was injured shows they think he can become a star.
Time will tell when or if he actually works his way into the Hammers first team, but you wouldn’t bet against it based off how highly rated he is (The Daily Mail).
