West Ham United is reportedly on the verge of parting ways with academy graduate Conor Coventry in the January transfer window.

Despite emerging through the ranks at the east London club, the midfielder has faced challenges breaking into West Ham’s first team. With just 10 senior appearances to his name, Coventry has been loaned out four times during his tenure at West Ham.

Recent reports suggest that the 23-year-old is poised for a permanent move to League One side Charlton Athletic. Sky Sports News indicates that West Ham has reached a deal in principle for Coventry’s permanent transfer to Charlton, with the finalization of the deal expected within the next 24 hours. The Irish Independent also notes that West Ham is likely to sell Coventry for a fee in the vicinity of £1 million.

While there were earlier links between Coventry and Sheffield Wednesday, recent developments suggest that Charlton has secured the player’s commitment. The Star, a Sheffield-based outlet, reports that the possibility of Coventry becoming an Owls player now seems highly unlikely.

Despite the conclusion of Coventry’s journey with West Ham, there is optimism surrounding his move to Charlton, where he is expected to receive regular playing time. Described as a “wonderful talent” by Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony, Coventry’s potential will be closely monitored as he embarks on this new chapter.

Charlton currently occupies the 13th position in League One, comfortably positioned seven points above the relegation zone and trailing the playoff places by 13 points. Coventry’s presence is anticipated to contribute positively to Charlton’s campaign as they navigate the challenges of the League One standings.
