Many believed that Nayef Aguerd could be the perfect central defender for Julen Lopetegui's tactics, given the Spaniard's preference for possession-based play and agile, ball-playing center-backs. Unfortunately, it seems highly unlikely that Aguerd will remain at West Ham, as top sources reveal his determination to depart.
Despite footage of Aguerd celebrating with George Earthy after West Ham's 3-1 win against Luton, any hopes of him staying were dashed when the club confirmed his intent to leave. Aguerd, who was pursued by David Moyes for over two years, has faced scrutiny regarding his suitability for the EPL. Nevertheless, some fans hoped he would thrive in a possession-based team under Lopetegui.
The £30 million defender is reportedly wanted by Saudi Pro League clubs and has recently changed agents to facilitate a move away from East London. In light of this, West Ham has prioritized signing two central defenders in the upcoming transfer window, a decision driven by the club's defensive struggles this season.
With 71 goals conceded – a Premier League record for West Ham – and upcoming matches against strong opponents like Manchester City, the need for defensive reinforcements is clear. The club's hierarchy, including Tim Steidten, Julen Lopetegui, and David Sullivan, are unified in their urgency to overhaul the team's defense this summer.
