Coventry City have broken their club transfer record to sign United States international striker Haji Wright from Turkish side Antalyaspor.
The £7.7m fee (9m Euros) beats the £6.5m paid to Norwich City when they signed Craig Bellamy in August 2000.
The 25-year-old USA international has signed a four-year contract and is City’s ninth summer signing.
“We welcome Haji Wright for a club record transfer fee of 9m Euros,” said City owner Doug King.
“We have been following Haji’s career for many months and believe he will be a hugely exciting addition.”
“This is a significant transfer for the club,” said manager Mark Robins. “He is a quick, powerful striker, and a very good finisher, who will add another exciting attacking dynamic to our play and clear quality to our squad.”
