West Ham United will not entertain any bids to send 27-year-old Mexican international Edson Alvarez out on loan in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Football Insider, Edson Alvarez is the subject of interest from AS Monaco. The Ligue 1 giants are keen on signing the West Ham United midfielder on loan in the winter transfer window. However, the Hammers do not want to part ways with the 93-cap Mexican international this month despite his recent form.
Edson Alvarez and his West Ham United woes
Edson Alvarez has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining West Ham United from Ajax in August 2023. The North American midfielder has shown flashes of brilliance in the last 18 months but has not been consistent enough in the middle of the park.
So, the 27-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup in the last one and a half seasons, with Tomas Soucek and Guido Rodriguez usurping him. Alvarez has turned out over 50 times thus far for West Ham United while chipping in with two goals and two assists.
Meanwhile, Alvarez’s stock in the market remains high, with several well-known clubs across Europe setting their sights on him. Recent reports have linked the 93-cap Mexican international with AC Milan. However, AS Monaco will look to beat the competition to his signature in the winter transfer window.
What next?
AS Monaco’s interest in Edson Alvarez makes sense. Adi Hutter wants a new midfielder in the winter transfer window, and the West Ham United midfielder has emerged as a viable target. The former Ajax star can be the alternative to Denis Zakaria, making him an attractive option for the Ligue 1 club.
However, West Ham United will not entertain bids to part ways with Alvarez in the winter transfer window. Even though the 93-cap Mexican international has blown hot and cold throughout his stint with the East London club, they do not want to offload him this month, even on loan.
Meanwhile, the Hammers are keen on adding a new midfielder to their first-team squad in the winter transfer window. However, they want a creative midfielder who can boost their prospects in the final third. As for Alvarez, it will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the 27-year-old.
