Some West Ham fans on Twitter are frustrated with Josh Cullen’s exit on loan.

West Ham have announced that midfielder Josh Cullen has completed a loan move to Charlton Athletic – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter are angry with the decision to offload him.

The Hammers have confirmed that the 22-year-old has joined League One outfit Charlton Athletic on a season-long loan deal.

He is a product of the club’s academy and a highly-rated talent, but will not feature in Manuel Pellegrini’s first-team plans this season.

The Irishman has had a taste of senior action for West Ham before with nine appearances, but will look to continue his development elsewhere this campaign.

Cullen previously helped Bradford City all the way to the League One play-off final back in the 2016/17 season, while he spent some of last year out on loan with Bolton in the Championship.

The midfielder still seems a long way off a regular spot at the London Stadium and he would have to majorly impress with Charlton to propel himself into Pellegrini’s thinking.
