West Ham United player Maxwell Cornet is currently on loan at Southampton.
However, the 28-year-old has struggled for regular football for the Saints and has played just 187 minutes of football for them this season.
According to a report from athleteCornet can now return to his original club in January. West Ham could recall him to the London Stadium after his failed loan spell.
It will be interesting to see if the Hammers are ready to provide them with opportunities during the second half of the season. Ideally, They should look to move him on permanently.
The 28-year-old has not been at his best for several months and a fresh start would be ideal for him. Leaving the Premier League to embark on a new challenge could help the 28-year-old regain his form and confidence. It was Linked to exit at the start of the season also.
While there is no doubt that West Ham need more quality and depth in the squad, it is unlikely that the 28-year-old will be able to make a decisive impact on them.
West Ham need additions in January
West Ham's performance has been very poor this season and they are in mid-table positions now. They were expected to be pushing for European qualification at the start of the season and it will be interesting to see if coach Julen Lopetegui can turn things around.
And with some smart additions in January, there's no reason they can't bounce back strongly. Getting rid of fringe players like Cornet could help West Ham strengthen their ranks.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old is still at the peak of his abilities and could prove a useful acquisition for mid-table teams if he can regain his sharpness.
