Manchester United defender Eric Bailly wants quick exit amid West Ham links
Manchester United defender and West Ham target Eric Bailly is reportedly hoping for progress on his quest to leave the club this week.
According to ESPN, he has been put up for sale and told to find a new club after being left out of the matchday squad during the weekend clash against Brighton.
While Everton have cooled their interest in the Ivory Coast international, Sevilla and Monaco continue to monitor the player along with the Hammers.
Move on
On his day, Bailly is an exceptional defender and can keep some of the best players in the Premier League at bay.
However, he’s on his day on very few occasions and that’s not a risk that David Moyes can afford to take, given the injury crisis among the ranks.
West Ham signed a defender in Nayef Aguerd, but are set to be without him until the end of the year while both Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna are not fully fit yet.
Issa Diop has also played his last game for the club, with him having a medical at Fulham currently.
Signing a centre-back is a priority but it’s equally important to get the right one and not any random player who is available.
His fitness record is another concern and it makes very little sense to sign an injury-prone player to sign players who are unavailable because of an injury.
