The West Ham playmaker has been linked with a return to the Middle East and a move to Turkish side Fenerbahce (TEAMtalk).

The 27-year-old Argentine has struggled for form and fitness since suffering a serious injury before the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

David Moyes has lost faith in the midfielder and Lanzini, who earns £100k-a-week at the London Stadium (Football.London).

As a result the player once known as West Ham’s ‘little jewel’ has been made available for sale to help raise cash so David Moyes can bring in new signings (ExWHUemployee).

From hero to zero

It has been a sad fall from grace for Lanzini.

The once dynamic and hungry playmaker has been a shadow of his former self since that injury.

And he was poor again as West Ham were beaten 4-1 in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Now the fears of West Ham fans have been realised.  That’s after anonymous Twitter and podcast personality ExWHUemployee lifted the lid on a conversation he once had with the Hammers’s medical team about Lanzini.

Ex claims West Ham’s medical department have known since his injury that he would struggle to be the player he once was.

Insider ExWHUemployee says medical team prediction has come true

“How is Lanzini still Lanzini?” ExWHUemployee said on The West Ham Way podcast October 1st.

“When I think of Lanzini, I think of when he was with (Dimitri) Payet and I think you know really skilful, good finisher, really exciting a bit like Yossi Benayoun you know Eyal Berkovic…. and now he’s just nothing really.

“It doesn’t even seem like it’s the same person. I know he had a really, really serious injury and actually at the time I remember the medical team telling me ‘He won’t be the same player’. I remember them telling me that, I remember them saying how gutted they were.

“Unfortunately I think they’ve been proven right.”

No logic to West Ham’s decision to hand Lanzini bumper new deal

It also begs the question why West Ham would hand Lanzini a bumper new long-term deal on £100,000 per week last August.

The deal runs until 2023. But now West Ham find themselves struggling to get Lanzini off their books.

There is no logic to it. But then logic never seems in abundance at West Ham.
