David Moyes sent several players out on loan during the summer, and according to recent reports, one is set to return to West Ham’s first-team set-up.
That’s according to insiders Claret and Hugh, who claim Flynn Downes could still have a future at the London Stadium despite spending this season out on loan with Championship side Southampton.
Having played in 11 domestic games this season, Downes, 24, is enjoying a fine campaign and has massively contributed to the Saints’ fourth-placed league position.
And it has now been claimed the 24-year-old is back in with a chance of reviving his career with the Hammers.
Although unlikely to recall the midfielder in the January window, Claret and Hugh believe a surprise return to Moyes’ first-team plans could be on the cards ahead of next season.
