Coventry confirm interest in Hammer loan

BurkeCoventry City have confirmed are contemplating a move for West Ham defender Reece Burke.

 The 19-year-old completed a loan spell at Bradford City last weekend but suffered a gashed wrist in final game for the Bantums after colliding with an advertising board.

Sky Blues boss Tony Mowbray has told the Coventry Telegraph: “I don’t like talking about other people’s players. He’s a West Ham player who has been at Bradford. We’re just looking at all options and I have looked at maybe four centre-halves this morning.”

Claret and Hugh were tipped off three days ago that Burke could make a move to the Sky Blues.

Burke has made ten appearances for West Ham first team and sixteen appearance for Bradford City on loan. He joined the West Ham junior team age nine and made his official senior debut on 5th January 2014 for West Ham against  Notts Forest in the FA Cup. Burke’s first goal for the club came in a pre-season friendly at against Sampdoria . He scored the winning goal in the 90th minute. Burke played the full 120 minutes against Sheffield Utd in the league Cup second round. He made his Premier League debut on 25th April 2015 in a 0–0 away draw against QPR.
