EXCLUSIVE:Leicester City are reportedly considering Coventry City’s striker, Haji Wright, as a potential addition to their squad for the 2025-26 season.

The 26-year-old American forward has attracted interest from both Leicester City and Ipswich Town, following an impressive tenure at Coventry.

Wright joined Coventry City in August 2023 from Turkish club Antalyaspor for a club-record fee of £7.7 million. During his debut season in the Championship, he scored 16 league goals and contributed significantly in cup competitions, including a notable performance in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United.

Standing at 6ft 4in, Wright is recognized for his pace, aerial ability, and finishing skills. His international experience includes representing the United States at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where he scored in the Round of 16 match against the Netherlands.

Leicester City’s interest in Wright aligns with their strategy to bolster their attacking options, especially considering the need to find a long-term successor for veteran striker Jamie Vardy. However, any potential transfer would depend on various factors, including Coventry City’s willingness to negotiate and the financial terms involved. As the transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Leicester will formalize their interest in Wright.
