Cheik Kouyate’s contract will not be reviewed until midway through the season despite Tottenham’s admiration for the Senegal midfielder.
ClaretandHugh revealed last night that the player had become unsettled by agents allegedly getting into him and talk of big interest from Spurs.
We understand the player is keen to be offered a new contract which reflects what he believes is his growing influence on the Hammers squad.
Spurs have failed to make any sort of move in his direction this window and were they to would be immediately snubbed by the Irons.
However, according to sources inside the club, the Hammers bosses believe a new pay deal would settle any concerns the player may have.
But they will refuse to be pushed into a corner and ClaretandHugh was told there would be no immediate moves to improve the deal.
We were told exclusively: “These situations are reviewed midway through each season – there are no exceptions in the case of any individual player. We can’t start making special cases.”
Welcome to the higher stakes league dave’s
To keep very good players you have to dig deep .!,
This lad gives his all every game ,
Pay the man !!!!!!
Early days , prove his worth then reap rewards. Good player. can’t allow new crop to start dictating. Does Diame ring any bells.
Kouyate unsettled? He might as well wait for a big club to move to. Sideways moves are pointless!
You made a deal with Sakho when others showed interest,
Make a new rule and treat the players that need looking after a priority,he has give all for this club and been great with the fans,don’t know what we are talking about in wages but be like others give him a rise put a sell on price of £30 million as a buy out clause,
The Spuds have done it to WBA just because they brought rubbish with the Bale money and can’t shift there dead wood,
How’s it feel Mr Levy this is the new world get used to it we are the club in London just look at our club badge,
Words like disproportionate, disparity, disgruntlement etc, and Robert Green, come to mind
As do phrases like , it leaves you if you dont care for it
He will be fine.Transfer deadline day,agents stirring it up,it will all settle down now.The club will sort his contract & give him a well deserved rise,just like they did with Sakho.I aint overly bothered about this,transfer window storm in a tea cup 😉
Business matters aside Kouyate has become one of my favourite players in the side.
Gives his all and puts his body on the line week in week out.
if he wants out let him leave no point keeping players who don’t want to be at the club what i say,come Jan he prob be in a spurs shirt…
