Journo says West Ham player in top shape wants to leave London Stadium in January

One West Ham United player in particular wants to leave the London Stadium this January window.

The upcoming January transfer window will be a vitally important one for West Ham boss David Moyes, with one or two additions urgently needed.

However, the Hammers manager will probably have to deal with a few outgoings as well as any potential incomings.

West Ham defender Thilo Kehrer has barely played so far this season, and the 27-year-old has already been linked with a move to Eintracht Frankfurt.

The German joined the Hammers for around £13 million from Paris Saint-Germain in August 2022 (The Sun).

His stay in East London could very well be a short-lived one now though…

West Ham player wants to leave this winter

It has been a really tough season for the defender so far. He has 27 international caps for Germany to his name, and you don’t get those handed to you if you’re not a good player.

However, he really has flattered to deceive pretty much any time he has worn a West Ham shirt.

Kehrer is apparently frustrated by the fact that he’s in tip-top shape, but is getting no Premier League minutes this season.

And according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Kehrer wants to leave West Ham as a result of that:

Kehrer leaving the Hammers this January transfer window will probably be the best outcome for all parties involved.

He has fallen well down the right-back and centre-back pecking order under David Moyes this season, with just 371 minutes action in all competitions to his name, with only 18 minutes coming in the Premier League (Transfermarkt).

That’s quite simply not enough action for a proven international. However, I’m not saying that he’s deserving of more game-time.

Aside from his substitute appearance in the Europa Conference League final last season, he has been pretty poor every time he has taken to the pitch in a Hammers shirt.

West Ham player Thilo Kehrer apparently wants to leave the club this winter, and I think that will be the best thing for his career.
