Coventry are being linked with a move for Angers SCO left-back Jacques Ekomié, with the 22-year-old Gabonese-French defender reportedly on the Championship club’s radar despite uncertainty over his contract situation in France.
The Ligue 1 full-back, currently wearing number 3 at Angers, has a listed market value of €7.00m on Transfermarkt, a figure likely to frame any negotiations if Coventry attempt to turn interest into a formal approach. The move is classed as a rumour, with the reported probability of a deal going through marked as “?” and no indication yet of an agreed fee or personal terms.
Born in Libreville on 19 August 2003, Ekomié holds dual nationality with Gabon and France and operates primarily as a left-back, cutting in on his preferred left foot. Standing at 1.79m, he has been developed in French football and is now established in the Angers first-team squad. His national team is listed as Angers SCO, and there is no confirmed end date to his deal, leaving open the possibility that he could run down his terms and become a free agent if no extension is agreed.
Angers currently compete in Ligue 1, while Coventry are pushing to strengthen in the Championship, with full-back depth a key area for many second-tier sides targeting promotion. Ekomié’s ability to defend wide areas and contribute on the overlap has added to his appeal, and his age profile gives him significant resale potential for any club willing to meet his valuation.
With the rumour first logged on 20 May 2026 and no clear indication yet of progress, Coventry’s interest remains at a speculative stage, but a move to England could mark a significant step in Ekomié’s career and help define his reputation on a bigger stage if the transfer materialises.
