David Moyes hints at dropping long-serving West Ham star

Alphonse Areola may replace Lukasz Fabianski, according to latest David Moyes’ hints.

In his most recent match against Arsenal, the Poland international, who has been in poor form, gave up the second goal at a tight angle despite having plenty of time to see it coming.

Moyes told reporters: “When you have competition you cannot discount the other, and that’s Alphonse. He has actually been excellent playing in Europe. His performances have been great. He has probably been waiting there saying: ‘By the way, if people make mistakes then you need to make changes.’

“The thing about it is that Lukasz this season has been so, so good. he has very rarely… the one against Fulham he probably could have saved, and the one the other day [against Arsenal] and we think he should have saved that.

“But he will be aware he is under pressure as well, but that’s football. Whether it is the manager or the players you need to perform well or somebody will come in and take your position. We now have a few people in certain positions where we can make changes, try other things if they are not up to it.” – finished Moyes.
