West Ham United transfer news: Sources share update on Nayef Aguerd London Stadium exit
West Ham sources have issued an update on Nayef Aguerd amid him facing an uncertain future at the London Stadium, according to Claret and Hugh.
The news outlet reported on 13 January that due to a lack of commitment shown to him as he’s been out for the AFCON has led to worries.
The Morocco international has struggled with form this season for the Hammers, despite their commendable league position.
The report reads: “But we are led to believe by sources inside the club that Nayef Aguerd’s future remains uncertain as there are worries over a possible lack of commitment to the club following his departure for Afcon having recovered from sickness “just in time.”
Keep him
Aguerd’s retention by West Ham is crucial despite concerns about his form and commitment.
While there have been reported consistent errors and questions about his dedication, it’s essential to consider the broader context.
The Hammers occupy a commendable 6th spot in the Premier League and are progressing in the Europa League, indicating an overall positive season.
Furthermore, his potential departure might create challenges in terms of finding a suitable replacement.
If West Ham decide to seek a replacement, Trevoh Chalobah and Max Kilman are mentioned, with Kilman being the preferred choice but there are no guarantees of them being upgrades on the Moroccan.
Aguerd’s familiarity with the team’s dynamics, coupled with the potential disruption in defensive stability following his exit, suggests that retaining him is in the club’s best interest.
Hopefully, David Moyes tells the club to retain his services at least in this window and then a call can be taken at the end of the season.
