Norwich City have agreed a £1.6 million deal with Coventry City for Haji Wright. In fact, Coventry City signed the American striker from Turkish club Antalyaspor in August 2023 for a club-record fee of £7.7 million (€9 million) . This transfer surpassed the club’s previous record of £6.5 million paid to Norwich City for Craig Bellamy in 2000 .(BBC

Since joining Coventry, Wright has been a key player, scoring 19 goals in his debut season, including 16 in the Championship . His performances have attracted attention, with pundits suggesting he could command a transfer fee between £15–20 million if sold . Additionally, his contract includes clauses that could increase the transfer fee to €11 million if Coventry achieves promotion to the Premier League .(NewsVoice, Football League World, Coventry Telegraph)
Given these factors, a £1.6 million deal for Wright would be significantly below his market value and is not supported by any reliable sources.
