Maiga arrived at Upton Park in 2012 from Sochaux for a reported £4.2million, as per transfermarkt, and has made a total of 43 appearances in his three-year stint at West Ham – netting just 7 times in the process.
With an average of one goal every six games, it’s fair to say Maiga’s exit won’t be a significant loss to West Ham – despite their current striker crisis.
However, Maiga will always be remembered by West Ham fans for that late winner away at Tottenham in the Capital One Cup!
@ReadWestHam We will always love you for this, Modibo! #WHUFC https://t.co/7UfpPCH6Hk

His exit would surely signal a new arrival is on the horizon, with only Elliot Lee available for West Ham’s trip to Liverpool on Saturday. Simone Zaza is reportedly set to sign on loan from Juventus.
