Leicester City make move to pip West Ham in transfer race for Coventry City star | OneFootball

Leicester City have now registered their interest in signing Coventry City star Callum O’Hare, as reported by Football Insider.

The Foxes have been in a sensational battle for promotion all season, but in the last week or so, the club has been able to confirm their promotion and the Championship title.

Leicester’s focus will now be on preparing for the new season, in which they will be a Premier League team, and it seems the club is keen on adding O’Hare to their ranks.

Leicester City register interest in Callum O’Hare

It has been widely reported for some time now that Callum O’Hare’s contract with Coventry City is set to expire at the end of this season.

The 26-year-old has been offered a new deal by the Sky Blues, but it has previously been reported that the offer has been snubbed.

That means O’Hare will end his four-year stay with Coventry after the final game of the season on Saturday.

A player of his talents becoming a free agent has meant several teams have been showing interest, with it being reported that teams such as Aston Villa, West Ham, and Southampton are all keen on the midfielder.

However, according to Football Insider, Leicester City have now tried to get ahead of the pack by registering their interest in O’Hare.

The report states that the Foxes are pushing hard to sign the midfielder this summer, with him eager to prove himself in the Premier League. It adds that O’Hare’s destination is likely to be the Premier League, given the sides interested.

Despite not reaching the Championship play-offs, it has been another memorable season for Coventry City and Callum O’Hare.

The attacking midfielder has had a few injury concerns but has played 30 times in the league, with the final game to come on Saturday.

During those games, the 26-year-old has netted six goals and chipped in with three assists. Plus, O’Hare has four goals and one assist in five FA Cup games this season.

O’Hare has been plagued with injuries during his time with the Sky Blues, but he has had some memorable moments with the club, and this season’s FA Cup run will be another he adds to the collection.

Callum O’Hare would be an excellent signing for Leicester City

Leicester City could be in a position this summer where they lose star player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, so the Foxes need to make sure they have a suitable replacement if that is the case.

There may not be many better than Callum O’Hare, as he’s shown for a number of seasons now how good he can be in the forward areas.

Of course, playing in the Premier League is much tougher than the Championship, but the 26-year-old will want to have that chance, and joining Leicester may be the perfect place.

This is because he will likely feature a lot for the Foxes, and he could settle better in the top flight with a team that has just been promoted rather than joining one that has bigger expectations and more demands.
