Reliable club source: West Ham defender can leave club if £8m offer received
David Moyes knows he needs to sell players to raise funds this summer at West Ham United.
One of those players who could leave is defender Arthur Masuaku, who hasn’t enjoyed the best of years at the London Stadium.
Moyes arriving and some unfortunate injuries meant that the Congo international has lost his place to Arron Cresswell in east London.
Claret and Hugh have reported that Moyes is happy to let the left-back leave in this window.
The reliable club source has claimed that if an offer of £8-£10million was to come in, Masuaku would be allowed to pack his bags and leave.
It is also suggested that the fee isn’t as high because there are hopes that both Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini can bring in a big lump of money.
One of the main reasons that one of the two experienced full-backs will be allowed to leave is that Moyes wants younger, more energetic players in his squad.
Should Moyes want younger players in his squad, surely it would make more sense to sanction the exit of Cresswell instead.
At 30-years-old, the left-back has been given plenty of chances this season and not taken them in crucial games.
Yes, he has scored some important goals at times, but his defensive work has been sceptical.
When the Irons fans have torn apart some of their players in the past year, he has been one of those to take big parts of blame, and Masuaku could find himself unfortunate.
