West Ham United is faced with a dilemma in the middle of the field since Flynn Downes and Youssouf Fofana’s futures are in jeopardy.
Flynn Downes’s future at West Ham is in doubt following his stellar loan stint at Southampton, where he was a key player in their promotion campaign. Although Downes is willing to return, Southampton is keen to have him on board permanently, and West Ham is unsure about what will happen to him.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Downes’ future, West Ham may choose to focus on Youssouf Fofana. Former manager David Moyes denied technical director Tim Steidten’s earlier effort to sign the 25-year-old midfield player. Conversely, Fofana has made it known that he wants to leave Monaco.
Monaco is requesting £17 million for Fofana, which could make him an amazing value purchase. A bidding battle may break out between West Ham and clubs like Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Aston Villa, Newcastle, and PSG, though.
West Ham must decide on a crucial course of action. Should they risk it all on Fofana, a top player at what looks to be a fair price, or continue with Downes, the returning loanee with a track record?
West Ham must move fast to get Fofana since a number of other teams are pursuing him. This may be a game-changing acquisition. The following weeks will indicate if the Hammers decide to stick with Downes or make a risky move by going after Fofana in a cutthroat market.
