West Ham fans can rejoice as crucial midfielder Edson Alvarez seems to have hinted at staying with the club next season.
The Mexican midfielder, nicknamed “El Machin,” has quickly become a vital cog in the West Ham machine. His presence is demonstrably missed when he’s out due to yellow card accumulation.
At £34 million from Ajax, Alvarez appears to be a steal for West Ham. He’s adapted well to the Premier League‘s physicality and shown attacking prowess with the occasional goal.
Alvarez himself acknowledged he nearly joined Chelsea or Borussia Dortmund before choosing West Ham.
But recent interviews sparked concern among West Ham fans. Alvarez previously stated he was “always open” to a move, particularly if linked to Bayern Munich. He also mentioned the uncertainty surrounding the summer transfer window.
With West Ham’s European qualification looking unlikely, reports suggested Alvarez might push for a transfer. This worried fans considering his importance to the team.
However, a recent interview with West Ham’s official website offers a glimmer of hope. By referring to his “first season in England,” Alvarez seems to imply there will be a second season at the club.
While this is encouraging news, it’s not a definitive confirmation of Alvarez’s stay. West Ham fans will likely wait anxiously for further developments.
