“He would’ve been great for West Ham” – Former West Ham player speaks out, says West Ham should’ve signed star player instead of ‘wasting’ money to sign Niclas Fullkrug.

McAvennie stated, “I wanted Ivan Toney. £50million, there’s your money, done. He would’ve been great for West Ham.” He criticized West Ham’s decision to sign Fullkrug, citing Toney’s proven goal-scoring record in the Premier League.
