As per Claret & Hugh, there has been an exit update out of West Ham United involving left-wing back Arthur Masuaku as David Moyes makes a brand new transfer demand.

The Lowdown: Masuaku sidelined...

Masuaku, unable to show glimpses of last season's brilliant form, has only managed four Premier League starts all campaign under Moyes with the Congolese ace's fitness issues becoming a cause for concern.

According to reliable club insider ExWHUemployee, as transcribed by FootballFanCast, the defender has been suffering with an ongoing knee injury which West Ham believe is caused by playing on hard pitches.

This comes after Masuaku underwent knee surgery in late 2020 to correct a pain in that area which has been troubling him for two years, yet now it seems the problem hasn't gone away.

The Latest: Moyes makes new transfer demand...

According to C&H, as Moyes makes a brand new transfer demand to West Ham, with the Scotsman now actively seeking a left-winger, this 'could well spell the end' for Masuaku.

Indeed, as per the insider, West Ham's boss now feels that a new natural left-footer is required on that side after Pablo Fornals' fine display there against Wolves.

The Verdict: Correct call?

Despite turning it on in glimpses since his move to east London, with Irons teammate Aaron Cresswell calling him a 'fantastic player', the time may well be here to back Moyes with a new left-winger.

Masuaku's injury record is a real concern at this stage and the Scotsman will need players who can shore up certain positions reliably - especially if West Ham qualify for next season's Champions League.
