Looks like he’s going to sign for West Ham.
I’m quite surprised about that. He played every game for Millwall after the FA Cup cock up and played very well. They offered him a new contract and most likely would have been first choice this season. I can’t see him playing many games at West Ham.
It's a realistic shot at Premier League football for the first time in his career (yes I know he was at Liverpool, but he was never realistically going to get a first team game there). He'll get a decent pay rise too. Worst case scenario, he leaves after a year or so and can then drop down to the Championship again where I'm sure a few clubs will still be interested.
If he stays at Millwall, he's probably going to stay in the Championship or drop down to L1 in the next season or two (Millwall will be one of the weaker teams against next season). A few mistakes and he's back to sitting on the bench again.
I think he should go for it.
