Former Liverpool and England midfielder Danny Murphy believes that winger Maxwel Cornet will be a good signing for West Ham United.
The Hammers completed their fifth signing of the summer to take their spending to around the £100mllion mark on Friday, bringing in Ivory Coast international Cornet from Burnley in a move worth £17.5m. However, he was signed too late to make his debut in Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City at the London Stadium.
Cornet’s absence added to injuries that ruled fellow summer arrival Nayef Aguerd out of action, with Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna also sidelined and Issa Diop also making himself unavailable to play.
