West Ham United defender Arthur Masuaku is set for an imminent departure from east London as reports from Turkey share the latest on his future.

The Lowdown: West Ham's summer overhaul...

The Hammers have sealed deals for Nayef Aguerd, Flynn Downes, Alphonse Areola (permanently) and Gianluca Scamacca so far this summer, with David Moyes seemingly overseeing a major summer overhaul at the London Stadium.

It is believed that West Ham also want to sign a left-sided player and Lille midfielder Amadou Onana (ExWHUemployee) as the east Londoners gear up for a hectic 2022/23 Premier League campaign.

In terms of outgoings, surplus-to-requirements figures in the squad at Rush Green will need to move on as Moyes tweaks his squad and upgrades in key areas.

The Latest: Masuaku set for loan exit...

As per reports out of Turkey, Masuaku is set to seal an imminent departure to Besiktas on loan.

Fanatik claim the Congolese ace 'will come to Istanbul within a week' to sign for the Super Lig club on a temporary basis, with Besiktas also having the option to buy him outright if they wish to do so.

The Verdict: Right move...

Having been called 'brilliant' by West Ham icon Mark Noble in the past, Masuaku has had some standout moments in claret and blue.

However, it seems clear that he is no longer part of Moyes' plans given his lack of game-time last season, with just 13 top-flight appearances (seven of which were as a substitute).

Therefore, it would be for the best if he seals a loan move to Turkey, and West Ham may be hoping that the 28-year-old has a profitable campaign and boosts his market value ahead of a possible permanent sale next summer...or indeed a possible renaissance at the London Stadium.
