“What a player”-Declan Rice Cheers on Former Teammate’s Move Out of West Ham

West Ham United midfielder Conor Coventry has completed a transfer to Charlton Athletic, drawing warm wishes from former teammate Declan Rice.

Rice took to Instagram, expressing his confidence that Coventry, a talented player, deserves success in his new venture and encouraged him to excel with Charlton Athletic.

Coventry, 23, faced challenges securing regular playing time with West Ham, leading to his decision to seek opportunities elsewhere.

The move to League One side Charlton Athletic presents an ideal chance for him to showcase his skills and secure consistent game time in lower divisions.Declan Rice’s message on Instagram reads,

“What a player, deserve all the things coming your way brother. Go smash it.”

Having been part of West Ham’s youth setup, Coventry now looks forward to making a name for himself at Charlton Athletic. His journey in lower divisions could potentially pave the way for a return to the Premier League if he impresses with regular football.

West Ham United is set to face Bristol City next in their FA Cup replay after a 1-1 draw, with notable absences including Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen.
