West Ham have reportedly agreed to sell 13-capped international for £4.2 million loss in the summer transfer window.

Arthur Masuaku will leave West Ham to join Besiktas on a permanent deal, if he starts for the Turkish giants against Trabzonspor tomorrow.

And according to a report from Sabah, the Hammers have agreed to lower their demands for the 29-year-old from €2.2 million (£2 million) to €2 million (£1.8 million).

That would represent a £4.2 million loss for West Ham on the £6 million that we paid Olympiacos for his services in the summer of 2016 (Sky Sports).

Masuaku proved to be a really poor signing for the Hammers, so it’s no surprise that David Moyes has accepted a reduced fee for the 13-capped Democratic Republic of Congo international…

West Ham to sell Arthur Masuaku for a loss in the summer transfer window

We may well have seen the last fo the 29-year-old in a West Ham shirt.

Without meaning to be harsh, I’m more than happy with that.

Getting rid of the 29-year-old on a permanent deal will be very good news indeed for the Hammers.

He never made any kind of positive impact in East London, and was regularly a weak-link for us when he played.

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

The sooner we get rid of him the better in my opinion. And it seems as though Arthur Masuaku could finally be on his way out of West Ham in the summer transfer window.

The fact that the Hammers are getting £1.8 million for him is very decent business indeed in my book.
