West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has sensationally revealed that he would welcome a loan move for club captain Scott Parker this summer, according to Sky Sports.
The 30-year-old England international has been heavily linked with a move away from Upton Park, with Arsenal, Tottenham, Aston Villa and newly Chelsea, all expressing an interest in the midfielder since West Ham’s relegation last season.
Sullivan has revealed that there has been no official approach for Parker yet, but insists that he would be more than happy for the defensive midfielder to spend the upcoming season out on loan:
‘We have had no approaches from any club officially. We keep hearing rumours and I would be wrong to comment further.’
‘I have not spoken to Scott myself. I think he has indicated and his agent has told me for his England career that he would like to play in the Premier League, but if we can’t get the right fee for him I think he accepts he will be playing for West Ham next year in the Championship.’
‘He is a supreme professional and I am sure he will do a wonderful job whether he is with West Ham or somebody else. I mean we would love a deal – and this has been mooted – that maybe we loan him out for the season for a substantial fee and then when we get promotion he comes back to us. That sort of deal would appeal to us because we love Scott. We would obviously want a loan fee because he has substantial value and has three or four years left of his career.’
‘They would probably be getting the best of those three of four years. He is at the absolute peak of his game at the moment and is playing out of his skin.’
Undoubtedly, Sullivan’s proposal will go down with all the clubs interested, none more so than Arsene Wenger’s side.
This would be an ideal deal for the frugal Frenchman to try and seal this summer, as he looks to bolster his squad for the upcoming season.
In my opinion, Wenger should definitely consider this proposition thrown down by Sullivan, as we could potentially acquire a top player without splashing the cash.
Should Wenger attempt to sign Parker on loan this summer?
