Maguire faces a Hammers thumbs down

West Ham seem highly unlikely to make a move  for  Harry Maguire after a reported rise in his personal terms has emerged.

The centre back  has been regularly linked with the Hammers but a third-placed finish to secure Champions League football, Maguire is reported to have earned a ‘considerable’ wage hike, along with other members of the squad.

And as a result the Guardian is claiming that it will make him even more difficult to move on Naguire by the Old Trafford club as it would involve him in having to take a hefty pay-cut.

Ten Hag has  admitted the centre-half has a decision to make over his future and England boss Gareth Siouthgate remains concerned about his form.

He started only eight league games last season and spent 15 on the bench after Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane forged a strong central defensive partnership.

When they were absent, Victor Lindelof and even Luke Shaw were favoured by Ten Hag ahead of Maguire, which is hardly a good omen.

And the Hammers have already been linked with other defenders given that Maguire, despite that, will see his wages coming close to – or even more than – £200k a week.
