West Ham made favourites to sign impressive Dutchman from rivals

WEST HAM. are the front-runners to sign very impressive Dutchman from London rivals.

Maatsen had a very good season with Burnley last year and impressed while out on loan – so much so – that the club wanted to make his move away from Stamford Bridge a permanent one.

However – he has revealed that he has a desire to stay and fight for his place at CHELSEA – despite the fact he has plenty of competition in that Chelsea side against the likes of Ben Chilwell, Marc Cucurella and Lewis Hall.

WHAT IS THE LATEST – 

According to a fresh update from the Evening Standard, Maatsen will be utilised as either a left winger or No 10 if retained at Chelsea next year, and the Blues hope to tie Maatsen down to a new contract.

But before the Dutchman will pen fresh terms, he reportedly wants ‘assurances over his development plan at Chelsea’ and whether or not he will get the game time that he needs.

And if he does decide to turn down a new contract with the club – it has been reported that West Ham are favourites to get a transfer deal done for the Dutchman.

WOULD A MOVE TO WEST HAM BE A GOOD ONE TO MAKE?

Maatsen is certainly a talent that has options if he does choose to leave Chelsea – but at the end of the day – if he wants to keep on improving, he may need to leave the Blues.

He will play some games this coming season – but not enough to make a big impact and if he joined a club like WEST HAM – he would get alot more minutes on the pitch that is for sure.
