Leeds United say Coventry City transfer would be ‘good addition’

Callum O’Hare’s future remains uncertain, apart from the fact that he is expected to leave Coventry City as a free agent when his contract expires at the end of this month.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs after five successful years with the Sky Blues following his free transfer from Aston Villa in the summer of 2020 after enjoying a season-long loan from the club in Premier League, where he rose through the youth ranks.

The player clearly has ambitions to return to the top flight and so far West Ham and newly-promoted Southampton have been linked along with relegated Burnley and Championship play-off finalists Leeds United. The latter, of course, will be among the favorites for promotion next season and could prove to be a top-flight temptation for O’Hare.

Meanwhile, Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers have also been the subject of speculation over the attacking midfielder who has been offered a new deal at the CBS Arena. But despite Mark Robins joking at the end of the season that he was still trying to convince O’Hare to stay, it looks increasingly likely that he will move on in the coming weeks.

And former England and Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson is convinced he would be a “good addition” at Elland Road.

“Leeds will be linked with a lot of free transfers because of the financial situation they are in at the moment,” he told MOT Leeds News.

“He is a good player. He had a couple of very, very good seasons at Coventry City.

“They were very close to getting into the Premier League two seasons ago, narrowly missing out. He has played regularly at that level, has experience and started his young career at Aston Villa. He knows the championship and is a good quality player. He would be a good addition if Leeds can secure him on a free transfer. We can sit and speculate about Leeds’ income as long as we want, but the biggest thing is in the outgoings.

“It’s easy to identify positions that need to be addressed in an ideal world, but we’re not in an ideal world. The players will leave. So players like O’Hare will be linked, but until I know what gaps need to be covered it’s difficult to speculate.”
