Arthur Masuaku U-turn as report makes big conflicting claim about the left-back’s future at West Ham United.

The 29-year-old joined West Ham in the summer of 2016 from Olympiacos for around £6 million (Sky Sports).

However, he never made any kind of positive impact for the Hammers, and was shipped out on loan to Besiktas in the summer of 2022.

It was claimed just a couple of days ago that Masuaku could actually return to the London Stadium at the end of this season, with Besiktas unsure whether they want to make his loan move a permanent one.

However, it appears as though that may well not be the case…

Arthur Masuaku could be set for permanent West Ham exit

According to Fanatik, Besiktas are in talks to make Masuaku’s loan deal a permanent one.

Hopefully they get it done and dusted as soon as possible.

It is believed that the Turkish giants have an option to buy the Democratic Republic of Congo international for around £2 million (FotoMac).

That would actually be a good deal for West Ham in my opinion, considering just how poor he has been for us over the past few years.

The left-back’s poor concentration levels and shocking positional awareness have cost the Hammers on numerous occasions over the years.

The sooner we get rid of him the better in my opinion.

And judging by reports coming out of Turkey, we won’t be seeing Arthur Masuaku in a West Ham shirt again.
