A number of West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the news that the club confirmed on their official website that Martin Samuelsen has left the London Stadium to join VVV-Venlo on loan for the coming campaign.
The 21-year-old has been on the Hammers’ books since 2015 and appeared destined for an extremely bright future with the club, quickly making two appearances for the side in the Europa League.

Two spells at Peterborough United and one stint apiece with Blackburn Rovers and Burton Albion saw the midfielder highlight some of his potential and provide the West Ham fans with brief glimpses of his class. Some may have perhaps been expecting that Manuel Pellegrini may have a look at him this summer as he makes a raft of changes ahead of his first campaign at the helm.
