West Ham faces decision on Edson Álvarez's future amid club struggles
Summary

West Ham United is considering Edson Álvarez's future ahead of the January transfer window as the midfielder remains outside Nuno Espírito Santo’s plans. After a brief stint with Fenerbahçe, Álvarez returned to West Ham but has not featured since August, missing 10 straight matchday squads. His lack of playing time could impact his international career with Mexico, especially following a recent documentary dispute. Reports indicate West Ham may be open to a sale if an acceptable offer arises, while Álvarez’s contract runs until June 2028, complicating his situation further.
