Since the beginning of the year, West Ham United has endured a dismal run of form, failing to secure a victory in spite of encountering seemingly favorable matchups. Amid this slump, certain players have struggled to meet the standards expected at the club.
One such individual is Nayef Aguerd, who arrived at East London in 2022 amidst high hopes. While demonstrating occasional flashes of brilliance, Aguerd’s performances have been marred by recurring costly errors, particularly noticeable in the past three games. This inconsistency has raised concerns among supporters, with many advocating for his exclusion from the starting lineup.
Recent reports from The Sun suggest that West Ham United is contemplating offloading Aguerd at the conclusion of the season. However, any potential transfer is expected to hinge on the club’s ability to secure a profit. Having initially acquired the player for £28 million from Rennes, West Ham will likely seek a fee exceeding £30 million to facilitate his departure.
Unless Aguerd can significantly elevate his performance levels in the remaining fixtures of the season, it appears increasingly likely that the prospect of his sale would garner widespread support among West Ham fans. While acknowledging his latent talent, it is evident that Aguerd has yet to fulfill the lofty expectations placed upon him, leaving many feeling frustrated by his underwhelming contributions.
