Manuel Lanzini has played 11 times so far this season, however, the Argentine is yet to score leaving some West Ham United fans believing his best days are gone.
Lanzini hasn’t given the Hammers much of a return in 732 minutes this season, creating just two assists and one man of the match performance. Those figures, however, have left some fans believing they’ve ‘seen the best of him’ in an Irons shirt.

With the Argentine being 26 years old, West Ham could likely sell Lanzini for a very sizeable amount which could create some money to use on other areas that need improvement.
This Lanzini is a myth

Not shown much since he signed a new contract

He showed some sign of life just before he got injured last game

What Do We Think?
Lanzini is still relatively young, so he may just need a goal or two to find his form. However, if the West Ham board are also unhappy with the 26-year-old, they could potentially cash-in on the Argentine, who has an estimated Transfermarkt value of £18m amid interest from the likes of Italian giants Juventus, as they consider whether to make a move for him, per The Athletic via TEAMtalk.
