West Ham utility man Ben Johnson will definitelyleave the club on a free transfer this summer,
Rangers keen on Ben Johnson
The 24-year-old wants to take advantage of his free-agent status in the upcoming window upon the expiry of his contract.
Rangers were among the clubs interested in the right-back in January, and could re-enter the race for his signature this summer,
The player’s versatility is also highly valued by clubs in the Premier League and clubs at the top end of the Championship.
He has played in various positions across the pitch, with Johnson lining out at right-back, left-back and centre-back, as well as right and left midfield.
It has been well documented that the Hammers were open to handing the player a new contract, with Johnson having rejected several offers from the Irons.
The Hammers academy graduate has made 22 senior appearances in all competitions this season, with a further three appearances coming for the club’s under-21s in the EFL Trophy and Premier League 2.
The defender boasts over 100 West Ham appearances, but sadly it looks inevitable he is set to leave the London Stadium for free at the end of the season.
Another good prospect leaving, there is obviously something wrong in our ability to nurture young talent
“Another good prospect leaving, there is obviously something wrong in our ability to nurture young talent.” Now there’s an understatement if there ever was one!
I hope Moyes treats his grandchildren better than his young academy players. Or maybe he just ignores them as well!
I can’t believe the comments on Johnson I can’t wait for him to go how Moyes keeps using him as a sub can’t you see that he does not know how to defend he stands there watching his team mates try and retrieve the ball all he can do is run with the ball he can’t go round a man he is not a premiership player 1 st division maybe next time he plays just watch him
