# West Ham fans have their say on Winston Reid’s future

[Winston Reid](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/04/hammers-likely-to-get-rid-of-great-servant-winston-reid/) is facing a potential turning point in his career after his time on loan at Sporting Kansas City [came to an end this week](https://mlsmultiplex.com/2020/12/15/sporting-kansas-city-decide-against-west-ham-defender/).

The 32-year-old defender is due to return to [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2020/12/16/tomas-soucek-endorses-abdallah-sima-slavia-prague/) in the coming weeks but faces the prospect of being cast aside by David Moyes.

Reid enjoyed [something of a resurgence during his time in the MLS](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/winston-reid/leistungsdaten/spieler/37526) after a difficult year with [injury](https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2018/october/17-october/reid-remaining-positive-rehab-continues), but Moyes is unlikely to see a future for the New Zealander within his squad at the London Stadium.

ExWHUemployee confirmed on [The West Ham Way podcast](https://audioboom.com/channels/5019730) that the club are ‘likely to allow him to leave’ the Hammers, although the player’s wages could be a stumbling block.

With [166 Premier League appearances](https://www.premierleague.com/players/4209/Winston-Reid/stats) since coming to the club [a decade ago](https://web.archive.org/web/20120921085430/http://www.whufc.com/articles/20100805/reid-signs_2236884_2112684), Reid has been a credible servant to West Ham and could well provide a viable option to a [fellow top-flight club](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) who are struggling to stem the flow of goals.

In the interim, sections of the Irons faithful have already been debating their views on the centre-back’s future…
