Right Time
There is a reason Carvalho hasn’t left Portugal despite being continually linked with a move away: his desire to stay at Lisbon and improve. And that has just what has happened. While he divided opinion when he burst onto the scene in 2013, he has since developed himself into one of Europe’s most well rounded defensive midfielders.
Carvalho proved that at Euro 2016 as the kingpin of Portugal’s title winning midfield. Staying in Portugal to improve his game was the right thing to do, and now he has done so, it is the right time to leave. West Ham would be acquiring a player in his prime, not one full of false promises as he perhaps could have been four years ago.
