Coventry City are in discussions over the potential signing of teenage winger Romain Esse, with the Championship club exploring a move for the highly rated Millwall prospect during the January transfer window, according to reports from British media. Talks are understood to be at an early stage, with no agreement yet reached between the clubs.
Esse, 18, has emerged as one of the most promising young attackers in the Championship after breaking into Millwall’s first team this season. The England youth international has attracted attention for his pace, direct running and ability to play across the front line, prompting interest from several clubs higher up the table.
Coventry City owner Doug King has confirmed the club is actively assessing transfer options as it looks to strengthen its squad, while maintaining a focus on long-term development. The club has prioritised young, high-upside players who can contribute immediately while retaining future value.
Millwall, meanwhile, are aware of growing interest in Esse but are under no pressure to sell, with the winger under contract and viewed as a key part of their plans. Sources familiar with the discussions say any deal would depend on valuation and potential add-ons, with negotiations ongoing.
Esse joined Millwall’s academy at a young age and made his senior debut earlier this season, quickly establishing himself as a regular option. His performances have drawn praise from coaches and pundits alike, and he has represented England at youth level.
No timetable has been set for a conclusion, and Coventry City declined to comment on individual transfer targets when contacted. Millwall have also not issued an official statement regarding the talks.
