Arthur may get a Sevilla call!

Arthur Masuaku may be called on to give the Hammers an option on Thursday evening if  Aaron Cresswell is unavailable for the game against Sevilla

Arthur is far from everybody’s cup of tea of course but on his day in the left wing back role he can create problems.

And whilst we don’t expect him to start, his re-emergence late on in the Villa match suggested he may – indeed has to be – in the manager’s mind given the possible injuries we face.

Should Cress not play, the left back job will presumably fall to Ben Johnson who – with Arthur in front of him – will get some sort of cover at the back whilst the DR Congo man attempts to create issues getting forward should he be called into the action.

He probably isn’t anybody’s choice to start but he can offer a bit and will be up for making an impression after another long lay off.
