Manuel Lanzini was a huge hit for West Ham United during his first couple of years at the club, before he was desperately unlucky and ruptured his ACL during the build-up to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

If we’re being honest, The ex-River Plate ace has never been the same again for the Hammers since then.

And David Moyes is apparently now prepared to let him leave the London Stadium

West Ham have made Manuel Lanzini decision

According to a report from Football Insider, the South American star has been told that he’s free to leave the Hammers at the end of this season.

It was recently reported that Lanzini was being kept in the dark as to whether he will be offered an extension on his current contract or not.

Now it appears as though he has his answer.

I have no problem with letting Lanzini leave, as long as an adequate replacement is brought in this summer.

Having said that, it will still be very said to see him leave.

West Ham man Manuel Lanzini is one of the only survivors from Upton Park alongside Aaron Cresswell, Angelo Ogbonna and Michail Antonio (if you don’t include youth players at the time).

The Argentine ace is one of the most popular players at the club now, with both the fans and players.

However, all good things come to an end. And it might not be too long before Manu is saying his goodbyes.
