‘Loan Is The Right Option’ ‘It Tells Me Moyes Isn’t Completely Sold On Him!’ West Ham Fans React As Sky Journalist Provides Transfer Update

‘Loan Is The Right Option’ ‘It Tells Me Moyes Isn’t Completely Sold On Him!’ West Ham Fans React As Sky Journalist Provides Transfer Update

David Tully Aug 2nd 2022

West Ham have held “talks” with Burnley about signing winger Maxwel Cornet, according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.

The journalist claims the Hammers would prefer to snap up the Ivorian international on an initial loan deal, but they will face competition from Everton:

Fans on Twitter are very much split on whether recruiting Cornet on loan is realistic:

Cornet is certainly an interesting option. It has been assumed that manager David Moyes is targeting him to strengthen his front line, but there is also a possibility that he is being considered as a wingback.

Chelsea were linked with the Cornet for the same reason earlier this summer and insider ExWHUemployee has mentioned the 25-year-old as a potential alternative to Filip Kostic.

Either way, it seems unlikely that Burnley would accept loaning out Cornet, when there are teams like Everton who could be prepared to pay his £17.5m release clause. The player, though, may have other ideas and there is a chance he’d prefer a switch to the London Stadium.
