There could be more player exits at West Ham United in the January transfer window than incomings it seems.
West Ham need to make numerous signings this winter in order to address our unbalanced squad, and we’re believed to be lining up a move to sign Fikayo Tomori amongst others.
The bad news is that West Ham must sell this month before we can buy, according to Claret and Hugh.
And selling Mohammed Kudus may well be a necessary evil for the Hammers in order to help facilitate the rebuild that we require.
There is so much deadwood at the London Stadium right now, and I expect numerous players to leave the club this winter.
However, the latest being linked with an exit will only return us a nominal fee it seems, if he does indeed end up leaving.
22-year-old set to leave West Ham in the January window
West Ham have a lot of work to do this winter.
There are some players at the club right now who simply aren’t good enough, and one of them could be off very shortly.
According to a report from O Tempo, Hammers centre-back Luizao is being linked with a move to join Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro.
And his agent is allegedly pushing him to leave West Ham this winter.
It has already been claimed that Luizao could leave the club in January.
And I think we need to move him on, even if it means letting him leave on a free transfer.
Luizao has been with us for nearly two years now, and has only played under-21 football.
The Brazilian centre-back joined West Ham on a free transfer from Sao Paulo way back in January 2023.
Unfortunately for Luizao though, things haven’t worked out for him at the London Stadium.
He’s nowhere near the standard required to play at the very highest level of the game.
West Ham selling Luizao in the January window would be a good move from the club, if we are able to do so.
