West Ham United midfielder Guido Rodriguez is unhappy in the Premier League.
According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORTthe physical demands of English football and the atmosphere have not gone down well with the former La Liga midfielder.
The Argentina international left Real Betis last summer to join West Ham and would have hoped to establish himself as an important player for Julen Lopetegui at the London club. However, things have not gone according to plan.
He was an important player for Betis under Manuel Pellegrini. It will be interesting to see if the midfielder decides to return to Spain in the near future. He is struggling to adapt to English football and West Ham will be disappointed with the signing so far.
Rodríguez has been a regular starter for the Hammers, and it remains to be seen if he can justify the manager’s decision and prove himself worthy of starting. It is clear that Lopetegui rates the player highly and he must deliver on the pitch now.
Will West Ham look to cash in on Guido Rodriguez?
If his performances do not improve in the second half of the season, it would not be a surprise if West Ham decide to cash in on the player at the end of the season. At 30, he’s not getting any younger and West Ham would be better off replacing him with a younger player with more potential. They need a quality defensive midfielder, and it remains to be seen if Rodriguez can do that consistently.
He has shown his technical ability and intelligence in the League and it remains to be seen if he now adapts to the physicality of English football.
