Coventry set for big chance as Posh watch and hope

Conor Coventry is likely to get the chance to impress in tomorrow’s prestige friendly against Atalanta at the London Stadium.

The academy youngster has so far been in great form during pre-season and continues to interest Peterborough United who are keen to take him to London Road on loan.

However,the Republic of Ireland international is likely to be kept on by the Hammers as possible cover for Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek.

Manu Lanzini is going to be ahead of him in that area which is keeping the newly promoted Championship outfit hopeful that  David Moyes may be ready to do a loan deal later in the window.

Moyes, though, will be keen to see how the 21 year old performs against the classiest opposition we have faced so far tomorrow (Sat) after Peterborough made their interest in the player known a month ago..

It’s a game rich with interest as we see the likely line up Moyes is planning for the opening match of the Premier League campaign next weekend at Newcastle.
