Aguerd ditches agent and wants out of West Ham
Nayef Aguerd seems poised to depart from West Ham after this season. The Moroccan defender has reportedly switched agents and is now seeking a move away from the club.
This development comes after rumours surfaced in January suggesting discontent within the team, with suggestions that Aguerd may have been prioritizing his involvement in the African Cup of Nations over his commitments with West Ham. Whilst these rumours lacked solid evidence, there were also concerns about a lack of communication between Aguerd and manager David Moyes.
I always try to be cautious when discussing these sorts of rumors because it’s easy to stick the boot into David Moyes. In news terms, it’s a bit of a tap-in to suggest everyone dislikes him, which is clearly not the case. However, sometimes there is no smoke without fire, and this particular story has been smoldering for months.
Aguerd’s decision to change representation indicates his desire to leave the club, though it’s unclear if Moyes will remain at West Ham next season. Nonetheless, this situation hints at potential defensive issues for the team and implies a busy upcoming transfer window for recruitment.
