West Ham striker Jonathan Calleri has declared that he would return to former club Boca Juniors in a heartbeat if given the chance.
The Argentinian has struggled for game time since arriving from Deportivo Maldonado in the summer, and talking to Argentinian radio show Perros De La Calle (translated by Sport Witness), the 23 year old said he would love to play for Boca again:
“I’d like to return to Boca tomorrow.Since I arrived there, everything was very intense, but always a beautiful pressure. Boca was the top of my career.”
Calleri was omitted from the West Ham squad that lost 3-2 to Bournemouth last weekend, and he has scored just one goal since he signed on loan with the Hammers.
Spanish media reported in January that the forward was on the verge of joining La Liga club Las Palmas in the last transfer window but the move fell through due to West Ham’s demands.
Calleri scored his only goal against Middlesbrough in a 3-1 win back in late January but he has featured just twice from the substitutes bench since then.
