Coventry City is pulling out all the stops to retain the interest of Callum O’Hare, who is being targeted by Aston Villa and West Ham United. The club recently released their list of retained players, with the departure of captain Liam Kelly confirmed and the news that O’Hare has been offered a new contract.
Despite their efforts to keep O’Hare at the Coventry Building Society Arena with a tempting new deal, it seems the allure of Premier League clubs may spoil their plans. O’Hare played a crucial role in Coventry’s impressive FA Cup journey this season, scoring in the thrilling 3-3 semi-final match against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium. With four goals in just five FA Cup appearances and a total of six goals and three assists in 31 Championship matches, O’Hare has proven himself as a valuable asset to the team.
While adored by fans and recognized as a key player for the Sky Blues, O’Hare has allowed his contract to run down, set to expire on June 30. This has opened the door for potential suitors to begin talks with the midfielder, and it seems that several clubs are already expressing interest.
Reports suggest that Aston Villa, West Ham United, Fulham, and Southampton are all eyeing O’Hare, enticed by the prospect of a free transfer. His versatility, able to play multiple midfield roles as well as a second striker, only adds to his appeal. A move to Villa would hold sentimental value for O’Hare, as he started his career in their academy before joining Coventry in 2020.
As the transfer saga unfolds, it seems O’Hare’s future at Coventry is uncertain, with the possibility of a move to a Premier League club looming on the horizon.
