With Adama Traore already departing West Ham United and all the transfer talk surrounding Crysencio Summerville, it is quite likely that the Hammers will have something of a shortage of pacy wingers as the Championship season beckons.
With just Keiber Lamadrid and Jarrod Bowen offering the options if Summerville is sold, West Ham need wide men additions and fast.
Sales of Kudus and Guilherme in previous windows without replacement led to Nuno’s claim that the squad was ‘unbalanced’ without the speedsters to give his team width – which explains the frequent links with wide players this summer.
Latest is former Championship player Antony Musuaba: Something of a journeyman, the 25 year old winger has travelled via Sheffield Wednesday, Samsunspur and now Fenerbahce at a top fee of €5 million. Thewesthamway.com are the latest to report on West Ham’s interest, suggesting that the wingers’ form is on the up after providing 4 assists and six goals last season in Turkey.
72 Championship appearances make Musaba an experienced option
With excellent pace and dribbling skills but somewhat questionable finishing prowess, Musaba could become a useful addition to Nuno’s Championship squad.
If a Crysencio Summerville deal is concluded, the Hammers will need some pace form somewhere and Musaba could offer a decent option with loads of English football experience already under his belt.
I’d like to see Ajala get opportunities. Diouf is also effective further up the pitch, but likely to be sold I expect.
