West Ham United are ready to cash in on Maxwel Cornet.
The player is currently on loan at Southampton, but he has struggled for regular game time at the newly promoted club. He has had a total of 187 minutes of first-team football with Southampton and it seems that he is not a key player for them.
According to a report from the Athletic, West Ham are pushing to get rid of the player, they signed in 2022. When he arrived for a fee of around £17 million from Burnley, he was expected to develop into a key player for the club. However, his time at the London club has not gone according to plan. His performance have been underwhelming and he has had injury problems as well. He has made a total of 41 appearances for the Hammers.
It makes sense for West Ham to cash in on an unwanted player and invest the proceeds from his departure on someone who can improve the squad. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
