Despite the excitement that has ensued from our new arrivals, the nature of the game dictates that some will depart too. Our talented starlet, Domingos Quina, has been linked with a move away from the club.
According to the Daily Mirror, as cited by the72, Quina has been the subject of interest from Leeds United. It’s reported that Bielsa’s Leeds have made an approach for our midfielder. It’s also rumoured that Newcastle are interested in signing the 18-year-old.
Here’s how West Ham supporters have responded to the rumours on Twitter.
Possibly, Would suit all parties well. ????

If we sell big sell on percentage and buy-back clause as a minimum.

Please don’t sell him to Leeds

If that's true, I'm done… He's so good. Underrated imo

Not been impressed when he’s played but would like to see where he could improve

Good, hope the club sell him (& Oxford) & then can cut ties with their toxic agent. Bloke has done nothing but cause disruption since he got his claws into them just like he did with Berahino at WBA.

We have enough starlets. How about signing some stars??

Verdict:
To date, Quina has attained six first-team appearances for the club, and while he has impressed during those displays, the midfielder needs to receive continuous first-team opportunities. Given his age, the Portuguese youngster requires regular first-team involvement to enhance his progression and to develop into an accomplished player. At this stage of his career, a loan move would be of tremendous benefit.
