Coventry City’s £7.7 million signing of a super guy has some people scratching their heads……
However, Wright seems to have found his form recently and is starting to produce a return on the big fee.
Wright was brought in from Turkish side Antalyaspor, where he scored an impressive 31 goals in 64 games across two seasons.
The 25-year-old was somewhat of a journeyman before joining the Sky Blues in the summer, playing in Germany, Denmark and Holland before his successful time in Turkey.
The forward has made seven appearances for the USA, including at the 2022 World Cup where he started in the group stage fixture against England.
Wright’s initial struggles in front of goal left even more Coventry fans questioning the decision to bring in the forward as the club started the season poorly, sitting in 20th place after the opening 14 games.
The American managed just two goals in that time, appearing in every match.
What’s changed for Haji Wright?
Since the slow start, he, like Coventry City, appears to have turned things around.
Wright has now scored eight goals and assisted another five in the league, with the Sky Blues climbing up to eighth place, just outside the playoff spots.
