Austute ManDemise of a Promising Career: Maxwel Cornet’s Injury-Plagued Spell at West Ham
Maxwel Cornet, the Ivorian winger who once promised so much, is on the verge of leaving West Ham United after a disastrous two-year spell. His time at the club has been marred by persistent injury problems, which have limited him to just 21 league appearances and a solitary goal.
The signing of Cornet in 2022 was met with excitement from West Ham fans, who remembered his impressive performances for Burnley. However, it soon became apparent that his injury issues were more severe than initially thought. A knee problem, described by specialists as one of the rarest they had ever seen, has kept him sidelined for extended periods.
Despite his talent and potential, Cornet’s career at West Ham has been defined by his inability to stay fit. The club’s patience has worn thin, and with significant investment in new players this summer, it seems likely that Cornet will be offloaded to make way for fresh talent.
According to The Sun, Turkish clubs are interested in signing Cornet on loan, which would provide West Ham with some much-needed relief from his wages. However, the bigger concern is whether he can pass a medical examination, given his chronic injury problems.
This situation is reminiscent of Kurt Zouma’s struggles with injuries, which have also limited his impact at the club. It serves as a stark reminder that no matter how talented a player is, their career can be derailed by persistent injury issues.
