West Ham have had enough – Looking for January transfer solution

West Ham seek to terminate Adama Boiro's loan from Athletic Club in January after he managed just 13 minutes in the Championship.

West Ham United are looking to end Adama Boiro's loan deal early in the January transfer window. The 24-year-old left-back joined on loan from Athletic Club in the summer with a purchase option, but has barely featured under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, making only one appearance totalling 13 minutes against Derby in September.

Boiro has been deemed surplus to requirements and is not in Espirito Santo's plans, with the manager preferring to use centre-back Morato at left-back instead. However, terminating the loan early presents complications: Athletic Club have no interest in taking him back, having sent him out on loan because he was not part of their plans after losing the left-back battle in pre-season.

A further obstacle is FIFA's two-club rule — Boiro has already played for both Athletic and West Ham this season, making another move in January unlikely. West Ham would need to convince Athletic to accept an early termination, or find a solution that satisfies all parties.
