# Virals: EFL club in ‘advanced talks’ to sign West Ham ace Conor Coventry

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/01/10/virals-west-ham-very-interested-in-as-monaco-defender-benoit-badiashile/) midfielder [Conor Coventry](https://readwestham.com/2021/09/06/virals-west-ham-starlet-conor-coventry-nets-first-international-goal/) is reportedly in ‘advanced talks’ over a move to League One side MK Dons.

The 21-year-old [recently returned to the London Stadium](https://www.theposh.com/news/coventry-returns-west-ham-united) after the Hammers recalled the ace early from a loan spell at Peterborough United.

Despite joining the Championship outfit on a season-long loan, the East London club opted to bring Coventry back having played [90 league minutes on just one occasion](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-coventry/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/419025/saison/2021/wettbewerb/GB2/verein/1072) this term.

Now a report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/west-ham-coventry-mk-talks-sources/), as cited on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/footyinsider247/status/1480450609702739970), has claimed that West Ham are seeking an alternative solution for the Republic of Ireland starlet.

The report claims that the [seventh place](https://www.skysports.com/league-1-table) League One side ‘moved quickly’ to sign the [18-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-coventry/nationalmannschaft/spieler/419025/verein_id/21103) Under 21 dynamo.

Prior to being recalled, Coventry – who was labelled [‘fantastic’](https://www.theposh.com/news/coventry-returns-west-ham-united) by Darren Ferguson – made [12 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-coventry/leistungsdaten/spieler/419025) in the second-tier.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

With the likes of [Mark Noble, Tomas Soucek, Alex Kral and Declan Rice](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) in situ, another loan move would appear to be the only option here.

Highly regarded by those at West Ham, many will hope this [latest loan switch](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-coventry/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/419025) can be the making of the London-born defensive midfielder.

Under a relatively new [contract until 2023](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2020/january/04-january/promising-midfielder-conor-coventry-pens-new-long-term-deal), the promising academy prospect needs to turn potential into performances in order to forge a career at the top level.

Hammers fans will no doubt watch the [£270,000 valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/conor-coventry/marktwertverlauf/spieler/419025) Coventry’s progress with a keen eye.
