Barcelona fans are keen to keep hold of Junior Firpo, amid rumours that West Ham United want him.

ESPN claim that Barca are open to offers for the full-back, with West Ham among the interested parties.

But many Barcelona fans are of the opinion that Firpo should be kept at the Nou Camp.

Barcelona fans’ responses to the rumour surely only heighten the excitement around Firpo’s potential arrival at West Ham.

The Spanish defender could really enhance the quality of options available to David Moyes’ side.

Firpo can play right across the back-line, but is most comfortable in left-back slot.

If he was to move to West Ham he could, therefore, have an opening if Moyes was to revert back to his 5-3-2 system.

Arthur Masuaku has previously impressed at times for West Ham, but he hasn’t always been the most defensively reliable, and there may just be a feeling that Firpo would be an upgrade at left wing-back.
