The idea that West Ham United could actually cash in on Mohamadou Kante this summer has been criticised by supporters. 

Midfielder Kante is held in high regard here in east London, impressing during his brief forays into the first-team. 

Still, Kante has been linked with a move away from West Ham this summer. Clubs in France are said to be keen on the 20-year-old midfielder.  

While players are expected to leave West Ham this summer following their relegation from the Premier League, supporters have told Hammers News they do not want the 20-year-old to go. 

West Ham fans want to keep Kante amid transfer interest

The website asked its readers and subscribers on the TalkingPoints platform what they made of the somewhat surprising transfer links. 

The response, as one can imagine, was clear. Fans do not want the club to cash in on what many believe is a huge talent in the making.

One fan said: “Keep him, he has great skill.

Another added: “Keep him and build the side up not down.”

This subscriber claimed: “I’d keep him. Let him strut his stuff in the Championship and see his value skyrocket.”

“I think Kante should be kept,” added another fan on Facebook. 

“If Kante goes, we will be sorry. Super talent,” claimed another.

“He’ll be a top player within the next couple of years and be worth a fortune, don’t sell and make him a regular starter next season,” read another response.

Indeed, West Ham fans are excited about Kante’s potential. Watching him move on at a time where some of their ready-made stars are almost certain to depart would be a bitter pill to swallow. 

While it would be unwise to put too much pressure on a 20-year-old midfielder who has only ever made 14 appearances for the club at senior level, there is genuine excitement about Kante’s potential

As such, the club certainly risk invoking the ire of their supporters if they were to sell. There are surely other players, many of whom are far more culpable for the club’s relegation, who should be heading out the door first.
