Soungoutou Magassa has addressed rumors suggesting he might leave West Ham only five months after his £17 million move from Monaco.
Nuno Espirito Santo has been working diligently to turn things around at West Ham, but some of his decisions have left fans scratching their heads, particularly his unexpected team selections for crucial matches against Brentford and Leeds.
These surprising choices led to speculations that Nuno might be purposely trying to get fired shortly after joining the club. However, Nuno has since refocused on rebuilding team spirit and resilience, reminiscent of David Moyes’ successful tenure at West Ham.
While results and performances have seen improvement, Nuno has still made a few questionable decisions. One of the more puzzling ones is his handling of Magassa, who was dropped for recent losses to Brentford and Leeds despite delivering strong performances in Nuno’s initial games in charge.
Fans have been impressed by the French defensive midfielder’s abilities, leading to confusion over Nuno’s recent exclusion of Magassa from the squad. Amid growing rumors that Magassa might move to Napoli in January, the 22-year-old has responded by expressing his desire to stay at West Ham. He emphasized his happiness with the club, the support from teammates and staff, and his commitment to improving and demonstrating his skills to fans.
Magassa’s statement should reassure West Ham supporters, as he affirms his intention to remain at the London club. Nuno has also indicated his confidence in Magassa’s future at West Ham, further cementing the player’s commitment to the team.
