More news of player departures are likely now that the Hammers have their Director of Recruitment in place: Likely it will hasten the turnover of Nuno’s unwanted players as the rebuild starts in earnest, just as WestHam’s non-internationals return for pre season training.
A couple of weeks ago, reports were rife linking West Ham’s Aaron Wan Bissaka with a move away from the English leagues: All went quiet during Wan Bissaka’s DR Congo exploits but it seems the stories have surfaced again suggesting the Irons’ right back is a wanted man.
Fenerbahce were reported as eyeing up West Ham’s relegated international in June, no sooner than relegation had been announced.
Wan Bissaka – form dropped after his first season as a Hammer
Now according to Turkish Fenerbahce fan site OneRealFener’s social media posts, transfer talk is likely to be ramped uo in the coming days:
“Efforts have been reignited for the 28-year-old right back of Democratic Republic of Congo origin, who has no desire to play in the lower leagues and has decided to leave the club. With his country out of the World Cup, the experienced player jetted off on vacation, but contact was swiftly established with his agent without delay. ”
Now its worth stressing that the reports last month were from big media sources and this is from ‘just’ a fan site: They have been right before so it is worth keeping an eye on mainstream sources in the coming days.
Most fans would accept that Wan-Bissaka’s form has dropped significantly compared to his first season heroics and subsequent HOTY award.
Few fans would be aggrieved to see ‘The Spider’ leave West Ham this summer as the Irons look to rebuild – Kyle Walker Peters had taken over as Nuno’s first choice in any case.
