West Ham’s Nayef Aguerd on Transfer List After Poor Performance Against Man City

Nayef Aguerd will pay dearly for his poor performance against Manchester City on Saturday. Following the coach’s comments on the match, the English club says it is ready to "sell" the Moroccan international, even though it had previously decided to keep him in its squad, according to a report from Claret and Hugh. "Nayef Aguerd - having been linked to both Manchester City and Newcastle - could be on his way if the right kind of offer was to come in next summer," Southon posted, adding that if one of these two clubs or others make an offer around 50 million pounds sterling, the Hammers would certainly be interested.

At the end of Saturday’s game, David Moyes expressed his disappointment. "I was more disappointed with the second goal," he had said on the West Ham website. "I thought it was poor, the second goal." Taking advantage of a defensive approximation by Nayef Aguerd, Bernado Silva of Manchester City scored in the 76th minute. The Moroccan international jumped much, much too early to try to clear a ball recovered in the box. He is said to have made similar mistakes in the past.

Arrived at West Ham in June 2022 from Rennes as part of a £26.7 million contract, Nayef Aguerd has put in some good performances in London. He notably scored the only goal of the match against Southampton in April in the 25th minute, thus saving his club from relegation. The Hammers had gone from 19th to 14th place, which allowed them to get out of the red zone. The 27-year-old player also helped his club win the Europa Conference League. During the summer transfer window, several Premier League clubs, as well as clubs in Saudi Arabia, showed interest in the Atlas Lion. But he preferred to stay in London.
