There have been a few rumours in recent weeks following Slaven Bilic’s sacking that certain players are looking to leave West Ham in the near future.
First, we had quotes supposedly coming from Arthur Masuaku’s agent suggesting he was off to Italy in January, claims that the left-back swiftly denied.
Midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate is being touted for a big money transfer at the end of the season, but perhaps the most worrisome report was the one that suggested that Javier Hernandez handed in a transfer request following the appointment of David Moyes.
The striker didn’t really see eye to eye with Moyes when the Scotsman became Manchester United manager in 2013, starting just four Premier League games under him.
It’s believed that Moyes has assured the Mexican that the team will be built around him and that he is the main man at the club, amid claims he’s looking to leave.

Chicharito took to Twitter to deny reports that he wants to leave.
Completely false. I am 100% committed to helping improve the situation we are all experiencing at West Ham. And as always I say this but I have never asked to leave West Ham.
West Ham’s top scorer so far this season with four goals in 11 Premier League appearances, Hernandez could miss the Hammers’ next couple of games after suffering a minor hamstring injury whilst away on international duty this month.
