Moyes ready to let defender go

|

West Ham are ready to entertain offers of around £8 million – £10 million for left back/midfielder Arthur Masuaku.

The 26 year old was handed a long term contract last season after joining the club in 2016 but despite using him as a left sided midfielder in his first spell under David Moyes, the returned manager pushed him down the Hammers pecking order last season.

And ClaretandHugh understands that an offer of £8 million would certainly be acceptable to the club where the manager is determined to fill up the squad with energetic and youthful players.

Essentially, the manager is hoping he can get big bucks for Felipe Anderson and or Manu Lanzini but Masuaku is certainly on the exit list if the right offer comes in.

The DR Congo defender  made 10 starts and seven substitute appearances last season and also suffered injury issues for West Ham  providing one assist in the process.

During the 2018-19 campaign, the left-back made 19 starts and four substitute appearances in the league for the Hammers, providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

    The prices that West Ham are trying to get for the players they wish to get rid of I’ve just not going to happen. And then even if they are are fortunate enough to get the price they want the player then reject the terms because of the wages he is on. David Moyes your just going to have to work with what you’ve got.

  • GaryD says:

    He is not a defender. Cannot tackle or jockey. He is an attacking midfielder, so play him as one.
