What powerful West Ham source has said about Solly March transfer

Solly March is one of those players who feels like they are continually linked with West Ham United.

The winger was with Brighton since 2011, signing from Lewes before playing at most levels for the Seagulls.

Players don't do that in the modern era of football anymore.

March is now a free agent, and at 32, is yet to find his way back into the professional game.

It's no surprise to see West Ham continually linked, and it's clear that he's admired behind the scenes at the London Stadium.

Despite that, it won't be enough to earn a new deal.

What have West Ham said about Solly March?

Straight to the point, this move won't be happening.

Hammers News report that while a "very good player", March won't be signed for one key reason.

They state that a source in the "corridors of power" at West Ham insist a transfer isn't likely due to his injury record.

Described as injured all the time, the 32-year-old wouldn't make good cover for those ahead of him at the London Stadium.

Nuno Espirito Santo seemingly agrees, too.

What have other Premier League managers said about March?

It's clear that he's an ultimate professional, but unfortunately, when you start getting let down by injuries, they don't stop.

Roberto De Zerbi, now obviously at Spurs, worked closely with March during their time together at Brighton.

The Italian labelled him a good player who he has "big confidence" in when looking for results during that time.

Another who worked closely with March was Graham Potter, somebody who West Ham fans likely won't care too much about his opinion.

The now-Sweden manager called him a pleasure to work with and someone who is a great role model for those around him.

Jarrod Bowen and Manor Solomon are the undisputed starting wingers for West Ham; that's no question.

But with only Edvin Austbo and Keiber Lamadrid behind them, it's clear that another face is likely welcome.

Despite March already knowing the likes of Joel Veltman, it appears highly unlikely, if not impossible, that it'll be him if anyone is signed.
