The Hammers are currently 18th in the Premier League and fighting for Premier League survival.
Their last result against Manchester United would give them confidence and hope, but they need wins and they need them consistently.
It’s a huge surprise to see them in the position they are in now, with the possibility of relegation on their minds.
Uncertainty over their future in the Premier League will bring uncertainty over their best player and one of them has already been tipped to leave the club if the Hammers are relegated to the Championship.
West Ham star could face an uncertain future
That player is Crysencio Summerville, according to former West Ham chief scout Mick Brown, who has claimed Nuno Espirito Santo’s side could be forced to sell the Dutchman if they are relegated.
Summerville has scored four goals in his last five Premier League appearances and he has been one of their best players of late.
‘West Ham will have real problems if they go down’ Brown said.
“It will be incredibly difficult to keep your best players because they all want to earn the best money and play in the Premier League. Summerville will be one of them, I expect, because he has recently shown that he can perform in the Premier League and so there will be interest in him.”
“There is every chance they will go down and if offers come in for players like Summerville I think they will be forced to let him go.”
West Ham need results in their favor quickly as the latter part of the season is expected to be a serious challenge for them.
Hammers cannot afford relegation
The prospect of losing some of their best players would leave the club years behind other competitors.
A player like Summerville, who is finally showing his quality at the club since his high-profile move, has become a huge asset to the club and losing him would be catastrophic for their future.
In the event of relegation, the ability to attract new players will also have a negative effect on the club.
A club like West Ham, a fixture in the Premier League, must ensure they carefully navigate the latter stages of the season to ensure their safety.
