West Ham faces questions over Adama Boiro's limited playing time
Summary

West Ham's acquisition of left-back Adama Boiro on loan from Athletic Club Bilbao has not yielded expected playing time. Boiro has made just one appearance, totaling 13 minutes since joining, which raises concerns for Bilbao regarding their player’s development. Oliver Scarles has emerged as the preferred choice for manager Nuno, featuring in nine matches. Athletic Club had hoped Boiro would gain regular minutes to strengthen the case for a permanent transfer, but his limited role could affect his market value. The next steps involve whether Nuno will give Boiro more league minutes or cup starts to assess his contribution further.
