West Ham United player Maxwel Cornet is currently on loan at Southampton.
However, the 28-year-old has struggled to play regularly for the Saints and he has only played 187 minutes of football for them this season.
According to a report from AthleticCornet could now return to his parent club in January. West Ham could recall him to the London Stadium after his loan spell fell through.
It will be interesting to see if the Hammers are willing to give them opportunities in the second half of the season. Ideally, they should look to move him permanently.
The 28-year-old hasn’t been in the best form for several months and a fresh start would be ideal for him. Leaving the Premier League to take on a new challenge could help the 28-year-old regain his form and confidence. He was linked to an early season release Also.
While there is no doubt that West Ham need more quality and depth in their squad, it is unlikely that the 28-year-old will be able to make a game-changing impact for them.
West Ham needs January additions
West Ham have been pretty poor this season and they currently find themselves mid-table. They were expected to push for European qualification at the start of the season and it will be interesting to see if manager Julen Lopetegui can turn things around.
With some smart additions in January, there’s no reason they can’t bounce back strongly. Getting rid of fringe players like Cornet could help West Ham strengthen their ranks.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old is still at the peak of his powers and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for mid-table sides if he can regain his sharpness.
