January exit inevitable for West Ham starter last night – report

January exit inevitable for West Ham starter last night – report

After his lacklustre performance against Liverpool,

Said Benrahma may be leaving West Ham as a January transfer now appears likely,

according to The Athletic.

With just one assist in 11 league games this season,

the news site said on December 21 that the Algerian had lost confidence and might now be heading for the exit.

Benrahma’s season came to an end in the Carabao Cup quarterfinal loss to Liverpool,

as he was substituted by Lucas Paqueta after just 57 minutes of play.

The wisest course of action for all involved

It might be the smartest course of action for all parties to take advantage of Benrahma’s underwhelming performance while wearing a West Ham shirt during the January transfer window.

Benrahma will be able to get more playing time and a change of scenery,

and the Hammers will collect a transfer fee.

The winger is rumoured to be on the radar of Saudi Pro League clubs,

who could be able to lure him away from East London if they are willing to shell out a big sum of money.

This could benefit both the club and the player. [November 25, The Sun]

If Benrahma decides to stay in Europe, reports in Italy [Sempre Milan, March 14] have already connected AC Milan with a move for him;

their success in the Europa League may have them enticed.

There seems to be no shortage of choices should Benrahma decide to leave East London,

but following a run of lacklustre performances and a struggle to get any regular minutes due to the rise of Paqueta,

Mohammed Kudus, and Jarrod Bowen,

that departure feels inevitable at this point.
