Krisztian Hegyi has admitted that he will leave West Ham United on loan in the summer transfer window.

The 20-year-old West Ham goalkeeper is very highly rated indeed at the London Stadium.

Hegyi has been described as ‘sensational’ by the Hammers’ official website. And the young Hungarian impresses pretty much every time he gloves up for West Ham’s youth team.

With Alphonse Areola and Lukasz Fabianski currently at West Ham though, Hegyi’s path to the first-team is very much obstructed.

And a loan move away from the London Stadium could well be on the cards for the Hungarian in the summer transfer window…

Krisztian Hegyi says he will leave West Ham on loan in the summer transfer window

The 20-year-old stopper needs to be playing regular senior football in order to make the jump up to the next level both physically and mentally.

And it seems as though that is exactly what he has planned.

Hegyi told Nemzeti Sport how he wants to leave West Ham on loan in the summer to join a League One or League two club:

“I am ready for a loan contract, my club thinks so too, so there may be an opportunity for that in the summer. Needless to say, I’m really looking forward to it! The best goalkeepers in the Premier League 2 can at best go on loan to the fourth or the third division, so this will probably be a reality. In England, they believe that as a goalkeeper you have to go through your difficulties first. Keeping up in the English fourth tier is significantly more challenging than in the Championship, because there are many more passes, the game is rougher and the pitches are of poorer quality. They say that this is a mentally difficult period, but you have to experience this before the even bigger tests of strength. A lot will depend on how the loan deal turns out, the first year spent in senior football will be a watershed in terms of how long it will take me to get to where I want to be.”

In 50 games for West Ham’s under-21s, Hegyi has conceded 84 goals and kept 11 clean sheets in the process (Transfermarkt).

Standing at 6ft 4in tall, the Hungary under-21 international cuts a seriously imposing figure. He is a tremendous shot-stopper and is very commanding in the air when coming for crosses.

Krisztian Hegyi is a really good communicator as well, and undoubtedly has a bright future at West Ham.

The one thing that he could work on is his distribution and composure when in possession of the football – a vital part of being a top goalkeeper in the modern game.

I’m sure he will do just that though. A loan move away to a League One side next season would definitely help him improve his all-round game and mature as a player as well.
