West Ham’s Thilo Kehrer appears set for a move to Monaco, aiming to revive his career and secure a spot for Euro 2024. Talks with Monaco are progressing, potentially paving the way for a loan with an option to make it permanent come summer. While Monaco is a frontrunner, other clubs like Roma show interest.
Kehrer initially had a solid debut season in East London after his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in 2022. However, this term, stiff competition from Vladimir Coufal and the addition of Konstantinos Mavropanos has restricted his game time, with only 18 minutes in the Premier League.
Once part of Germany’s squad for the 2022 World Cup, Kehrer’s absence from recent national fixtures complicates his quest to earn a place for Euro 2024. With Germany’s mixed results, breaking into Julian Nagelsmann’s plans becomes an uphill task.
Amidst potential departures from West Ham, names like Danny Ings, Maxwel Cornet, Ben Johnson, Said Benrahma, and Pablo Fornals are in the mix. The situation’s complexity grows with injuries and players leaving for international duties, such as Lucas Paqueta’s injury and Mohammed Kudus joining Ghana for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Manager David Moyes hinted at potential exits before new signings, particularly considering the African Nations and recent minor injuries affecting the squad’s dynamics.
