West Ham have taken a look and clearly don’t like what they are seeing as the Samir Nasri story runs into it’s second days.
And a tweet from the Daily Mail’s Ian Ladyman – a journo who gets most things right – that as a result he could be off to China look pretty accurate.
With the player’s fitness at such a low ebb, according to the our own sources inside the London Stadium and passed on to us by phone after his medical got underway, big doubts have crept into the Hammers collective psyche.
It’s ironic, however, that China should become a probable option given that Manuel Pellegrini left China Hebel Fortune because of new rules restricting the arrival of foreign players last year.
He wanted the Hammers job anyway, but that the Chinese Football authority had restricted the number of foreigners to three per club was a development which helped by departure from China Hebel Fortune.
The China season ends in November and reopens in March thus giving Nasri plenty of time to get fit so although the deal is not entirely dead in the West Ham water a move to China certainly looks more than a possibility.
