West Ham officially confirm Armstrong Okoflex will leave this summer
Armstrong Okoflex will be released from West Ham United this summer.
West Ham signed Armstrong Okoflex on a free transfer from Celtic in the summer of 2021.
At the time, there was real excitement regarding the 21-year-old’s arrival. At the time, he was only 19, and had so much talent and potential.
However, he ended up playing just nine senior minutes under Hammers boss David Moyes. And he endured an unsuccessful loan spell with Swansea City as well.
Okoflex played just 287 minutes in the Championship, and failed bag either a goal or an assist.
And as talented as he undoubtedly is, it seems as though there is something missing…
The Hammers have issued their retained list via the official website.
It seems like David Moyes got this one spot on all along.
Last season, the West Ham fans were calling for the Scot to give the former Celtic man some game-time in the Premier League.
Considering the fact that he struggled so badly to make an impact in the Championship, can you imagine how far off the pace he would have been in the Premier League?
As talented as Armstrong Okoflex undoubtedly is, West Ham clearly believe that he won’t quite make it at the very highest level.
The former Celtic man will now be on the hunt for a new club.
It’s a shame because I had really high hopes for the Dublin-born attacker. I wish him all the luck in the world and who knows, maybe this setback will be exactly what he needs in the long run, in order to fulfil his potential.
