West Ham United could now let Manuel Lanzini leave today, with the Daily Mail reporting that he could exit on loan.

The Hammers completed the signing of Brazilian playmaker Lucas Paqueta from Lyon this week.

Paqueta made his debit under David Moyes in the 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur last night and it seems that Lanzini has now fallen further down the pecking order.

The Argentine has been a solid performer for West Ham since joining the club back in 2015.

He’s even earned praise from Paul Scholes recently. The Manchester United legend labelled the Hammers man a really ‘good footballer’ while talking to Premier League productions.

But it seems that Lanzini could be heading out on loan before tonight’s deadline.

West Ham could let Lanzini leave today

The Daily Mail reports that Lanzini is one of three West Ham players who could be heading out the door today.

Craig Dawson has offers from Wolves and Aston Villa, while Harrison Ashby is also receiving interest.

And Lanzini could now be loaned out following the signing of Paqueta this week.

David Moyes has been busy bolstering his squad this summer as the Hammers have brought in eight players.

The Scotsman seems to be reshaping his squad and has also allowed a host of players to leave, including the likes of Arthur Masuaku and Andriy Yarmolenko.

And Lanzini looks like he could be one of the next players to be heading out the door.

Moyes has a host of options in midfield now and the Argentine would probably struggle to play regularly this season.

Lanzini was an important squad player for Moyes last season as he made 30 appearances in the Premier League.

But after a busy summer, the player is now further down the pecking order at the club and could head out on loan today.
