Youngster could be poised for exit

Armstrong Okoflex could leave West Ham on loan this summer.

The Athletic reports that the striker could leave in search of first-team football as the summer window continues.

The 20-year-old attracted interest from a variety of clubs in January but the Hammers opted to keep him, feeling that he should continue developing in the Under-23s.

Okoflex played 23 times for the youth team and scored 12 goals last season, while also laying on two assists.

He has continually been on the bench for the first-team but has yet to make his debut and the new report claims he could go on a short-term deal this summer, likely for the whole of the 2022/23 season.

He has travelled with the squad to their pre-season training camp in Scotland, however, and he may be given a chance to play in the upcoming friendlies; impressive performances may give David Moyes a headache over his future.

Given his lack of minutes, however, we can firmly believe that a loan is the plan.
