Everton are reportedly interested in signing the West Ham United ace.
Hammers full-back Aaron Cresswell joined the club from Ipswich Town in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £3.75 million, and it is hard to argue that he has been nothing other than a resounding success during his time in east London.
Aside from a brief drop in form last season following a lengthly lay-off, the 28-year-old has performed to an incredibly consistent standard.
Rumours began to circulate today regarding his future with the Hammers, however, with the Daily Mail reporting that Everton are interested in signing him this month.
Whilst West Ham fans might be worried about the reports linking Cresswell with an exit, it could be argued that the Hammers can afford to sell the left-back, what with the emergence of Arthur Masuaku this season.
The former Olympiacos man has been quite sensational this season, and has mostly been utilised as a left-winger by David Moyes, although his natural position is left-back.
He is more of a threat going forward than Cresswell, and his athleticism and physical prowess allows him to recover defensively whenever he is caught out of possession.
There are so many area of Moyes’ squad that need improving, and the Scot might just be best served in raising funds for a spending spree of his own by sanctioning Cresswell’s exit.
West Ham hold all of the cards as far as the 28-year-old’s future is concerned. He is contracted with the east London outfit until the summer of 2021, so if they did decide to sell him, he should command a hefty transfer fee.
