Conor Coventry really does seem to be thriving with the League One outfit.

The 22-year-old is on loan with MK Dons until the end of the season and he has been really impressing in League One.

He left the London Stadium to link up with the Buckinghamshire outfit in January.

MK Dons manager Liam Manning absolutely raved about the young Hammer recently, when speaking to the MK Citizen:

“We’ve brought in someone who can add to the team and has settled quickly. In a battle, you saw what he could do, and in a footballing game you know what he can deliver. When it’s a scrap, land on seconds and be physical, he can do that as well. When you look at him, he can adapt and impose himself on different types of games.”

This loan spell with MK Dons will do him the world of good. And it seems as though he could be in line for a promotion with West Ham at the London Stadium next season…

Football League World recently claimed that David Moyes has been keeping a close eye on Coventry’s progress at Stadium MK and he has apparently been very impressed with what he has seen.

If the West Ham boss watched Coventry last night, he surely would have been blown away…

Conor Coventry scores wonder goal for MK Dons

The Republic of Ireland under-21 international opened his goalscoring account for the League One side last night and he did it in style:

The goal will be a timely reminder for West Ham boss David Moyes.

The Scot needs to bolster his central midfield ranks at the London Stadium this summer. And Coventry’s form for MK Dons might just be enough to convince Moyes that he doesn’t need to go shopping.

The Conor Coventry goal MK Dons last night would have sent a message to Moyes and his staff.

The Irish midfielder is an incredibly talented player and perhaps he will be plying his trade in the Premier League next season.
