Irons ready to let youngsters out

|

HenryWest Ham are ready to let a number of youngsters go out on loan with the opening of the emergency window.

The ’emergency loan’ window opened this morning and is not due to close until November 25th, with clubs then unable to add to their squads until the January window opens in the new year.

The loan deals can last between 28 days and 93 days. Should clubs agree a three-month deal, it will tie a player down until the New Year and the January window.

Young central defender Doneil Henry is one of those who could be on his way with Blackburn Rovers still interested in the youngster who did so well at Ewood Park last season before injury.

Slaven Bilic is also ready to let Elliott Lee, Kyle Knoyle and perhaps even Reece Oxford on a short term deal and they haven’t given up hope that James Collins and Joey O’Brien will receive acceptable offers.

ClaretandHugh was told: “We would certanly be hoping to get a few out on loan – we have several who would benefit greatly from first team experience.”
