Some West Ham United fans are not pleased on Twitter about offloading Edimilson Fernandes on loan.
West Ham United midfielder Edimilson Fernandes has joined Italian side Fiorentina on loan, and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter have responded by claiming they are making a mistake.
The Hammers confirmed on Monday that the 22-year-old has linked up with Serie A club Fiorentina on a season-long loan.
Fernadnes has been at the London Stadium for two years and racked up 48 appearances, but he never really nailed down a starting position for an extended period.
The thee-capped Switzerland international will move to Italy in search of regular football and has not been able to force his way into the plans of new West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini.
There have been wholesale changes at the London club over the summer and Fernandes will not be competing for a spot in the centre of the park.
Jack Wilshere, Declan Rice, Mark Noble and Carlos Sanchez are likely to be vying for the central midfield positions at West Ham.
A selection of West Ham supporters appear concerned about the departure of Fernandes and feel that they could miss his pace and energy in midfield.
Here is some of the West Ham reaction to the confirmed Fernadnes loan exit:
