World renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Nayef Aguerd’s potential departure this January.
There is probably not a single sports journalist who is as widely known and respected as Fabrizio Romano. He is a good friend of The West Ham Way and someone who seems to have sources for every single club in the sport.
With rumours circling that the Hammers are considering selling Nayef Aguerd, some fans have been left confused by what the situation is. Fortunately, Fabrizio has been able to provide some extra information on what exactly is going on after Dharmesh revealed that West Ham would listen to offers.

“AS Roma and AC Milan have also made enquiries but financially not possible as West Ham will NOT accept loan proposal,” adding that “Aguerd, very happy in Premier League.”
