West Ham set to part ways with youngster Amadou Diallo
West Ham have reportedly parted ways with Amadou Diallo and a number of youngsters after gauging their performances this season.
According to ExWHUemployee, the England under-17 international turned down a number of offers to stay put at the London Stadium.
However, the Hammers did not deem him good enough to continue at the club.
He wrote, “Sadly, we believe one time highly rated academy winger and England under 17 international Amadou Diallo is amongst some of the players not kept on.
“Diallo turned down a number of top clubs abroad to stay at West Ham in the past and will surely get another big chance elsewhere.
“He has also had his fair share of injuries in recent years. Another Promising winger Jayden Fevrier has also been unlucky.”
Right call?
The club and the academy coaches have to make these decisions a lot throughout their careers.
At the end of every season, they’ve got to tell certain players that they’re not good enough to stay at the club.
Hopefully, they’ve made the right choices here as Diallo was one of the brightest prospects of the academy.
The academy players have been the backbone of the club in the past and David Moyes has relied on them a great deal.
There certainly will be more players who join in the coming weeks and months as clubs tend to make youth signings very often.
