A number of West Ham United fans want Nottingham Forest to sign Sam Byram permanently.

According to the Sun, Forest are set to take Byram on a season-long loan deal.

Byram, who came through the Leeds United academy system, cost the Hammers a reported fee of £4.3 million two-and-a-half-years ago (Transfermarkt).

However, the Essex-born player, who can operate further up the right flank if required, has only made 36 appearances throughout that time – 27 of which have arrived in the Premier League.

After Ryan Fredericks’ arrival at the London Stadium, Byram is likely to find himself pushed further down the West Ham pecking order.

And, even with Byram’s best years still ahead of him and Pablo Zabaleta’s career reaching its end, many of a Hammers persuasion seem to have given up on the 24-year-old.

This is what they are saying in response to the Nottingham Forest speculation…

Should Byram join Nottingham Forest he is likely to take the place of Eric Lichaj, who was sold to Hull City last week.

Are some West Ham fans being too hasty with their views on Byram?
