West Ham are reportedly ‘hoping’ to receive bids for versatile wing-back Arthur Masuaku this summer.
The 28-year-old remains a lesser-seen figure under David Moyes despite being handed a rare start against Tottenham.
Signed from Olympiacos in 2016 for £6million (Sky Sports), Masuaku has played 127 times for the Hammers.
According to a report from Claret & Hugh, as cited by West Ham Central on Twitter, the French-born ace could be on the move.

The report claims that West Ham ‘rate’ the 10-cap DR Congo international at around £5million.
So far this season Masuaku – described as a ‘fantastic player’ by Aaron Cresswell – has scored once and provided one assist in 23 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £4.5million and under contract at the London Stadium until 2024 (Transfermarkt), recouping anything close to the £5million mark would be good business.
Having been an impressive servant to the Irons down the last six years, it would appear that the time has come to part ways.
As Moyes goes into the transfer market looking to strengthen this summer, wages and budget will need topping up and selling Masuaku will help on both fronts.
