West Ham winger Armstrong Okoflex closing in on loan move to Swansea City
West Ham winger Armstrong Okoflex is set to join Championship side Swansea City on a season long loan deal, according to BBC Sport.
The Swans have been rather inactive in the transfer window this summer where they have made just three permanent signings to go with two loan arrivals as well.
As per the latest report, Okoflex is set to become the third loan signing for the club in the ongoing transfer window.
One for the future
West Ham’s transfer activities changed in the recent past where the focus has been shifted to signing younger players and building the core of the squad around them.
For example, in this window, the club have made numerous signings but none of them are above the age of 30 whereas just two are above the age of 26.
That shows David Moyes is now building the core of young players who are likely to serve the club for a number of years in the future.
Okoflex is one of those players and letting him leave and join a Championship side seems to be a right decision and West Ham manager as well as the fans will be hoping that the player will come back and produce the goods for the club in the future.
