2. Havard Nortveit
Another strange one, this lad. Nordtveit is clearly a talented footballer, just not in a West Ham shirt. He and Xhaka, who played impressively together for BMG in the Champions League, have both struggled to take to the English game. It’s a mystery as to why. Nordtveit has looked mistake-prone for the Hammers but has never been given a run of games to iron his game out, and he now looks set to leave. A return to German football is probably on the cards for the big Norwegian, whose versatility should have been an asset to the club. What could’ve been.
