West Ham on verge of Maxwel Cornet transfer
West Ham United are looking to move Cornet on loan, with the ex-Burnley winger having only played a total of 352 minutes in the Premier League for the club.
This has included just one league start last season, among three in total in the top flight since arriving.
The Hammers and Southampton alike will be hoping he can reignite his career in the Premier League having shown that initial excitement he possesses whilst at Burnley.
Julen Lopetegui is content with the wide options he has, with the club having already brought Crysencio Summerville and Luis Guilherme to the London Stadium this summer.
