When it comes to transfer news and rumours that come out of West Ham United, nothing should come as a real surprise. However, the latest noise coming from the Hammers is a real shock, as it’s claimed that the club are prepared to get rid of Albian Ajeti, despite his massive lack of game time.
West Ham are ready to move Albian Ajeti out of the club in January as they look for a new option up front.
He was allegedly on his way to Brentford for £5 million before Mario Husillos and Pellegrini moved in and bought him for £8 million.

The Swiss striker was signed over the summer for a fee of just £8m (BBC). However, Claret and Hugh have claimed that the ex-Basel man was on his way to Brentford for £3m less than that before Mario Husillos swooped in and decided to part with the money to bring him to the London Stadium.
The report claims that the club are keen to move on Ajeti and get in a proper second striker, although how they’ve come to the conclusion that the 22-year-old isn’t good enough in his 280 minutes for the club (Transfermarkt), is absolutely beyond us.
Should Albian Ajeti be sold in January?
Yes
No

He’s had so little gametime I genuinely don’t even know if he’s any good !

Would like to see Haller & Ajeti up front together just once before we conclude that both are failures!

Take a loss & he hasn’t even got a Chance hardly. He wasn’t my choice for #2 striker but gotta feel for him & watch him go to eslehwere & score for fun…

Guaranteed he goes to a club like Brentford and smashes 20 odd goals in before the end of the season

The Hammers aren’t at all keen on seeing Ajeti sold just yet, as they don’t believe he’s had a fair run in the side yet.
