West Ham fans have been given the news recently that their club is looking at some options for a new central midfielder to come in and add to the engine room that both Mark Noble and Declan Rice, and it looks like the Hammers have landed upon a 31-year-old ex-Premier League midfielder as a target.
That man is the ex-Stoke City French midfield man Steven Nzonzi, and whilst the player has his accolades, having won the 2018 World Cup, he just doesn’t look like the profile of player that the Irons should be targeting.
At the moment, the Frenchman is out on-loan at Galatasaray from Roma for the season, and whilst he may have the talent and the guile to do a job in the centre of the midfield in a top-flight side, at his age it just makes no sense that West Ham would be looking to bring him to Stratford.
The links between Nzonzi and West Ham have come from The Sun, and whilst the 31-year-old has Premier League pedigree, having last featured in the competition in a 6-1 dismantling of Liverpool whilst playing for Stoke City in 2015, but it just doesn’t make sense to sign him now.
It has been four and a half years since that game, and whilst the Frenchman has played for Roma and Sevilla in the Champions League in his years after Stoke it just does not look like bringing the Frenchman in on a loan deal is what West Ham need at the minute.
Steven Nzonzi...
Sign him
No way
The Stratford club should be building for a better and brighter future, looking at young talents, like Declan Rice, who can come in and have a long term impact on the club as opposed to short-term loan deals that will keep the club in the Premier League year upon year.
