Former West Ham United left-back Manny Longelo has opened up on his frustrations of not properly breaking into the Hammers’ first-team squad prior to joining Birmingham City.
The 22-year-old Barking-born defender left the Hammers permanently on January transfer deadline day to join the Blues after spending the first half of the season out on loan at St Andrew’s.
Prior to his loan exit, Longelo played twice for West Ham’s first-team, making his debut as a substitute against Hull City in the Carabao Cup in September 2020 before playing the duration of a Europa League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.
