According to Football London, West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass could leave the club this summer less than six months after moving to the London Stadium for £10million from Hull City.

The Scotland international struggled to make an impression after moving to east London during the January transfer window – despite enjoying a successful first half of the campaign with the Tigers – and now rumours suggest the Irons might be open to letting him go.

Newly-promoted Brighton and Hove Albion are said to be interested in the 29-year-old, and it certainly wouldn't be too surprising to see West Ham sell after a difficult half-season at his new club.

While he may have disappointed his manager and the supporters over the course of the last few weeks and months, the wide man can still have a positive impact on the side.

Here are three reasons West Ham should keep Snodgrass this summer…

He needs more time

With less than six months at the club and only 15 appearances, it is clear that Snodgrass needs more time to make an impact at the London Stadium.

Despite playing for Leeds United in League One and the Championship, and then Norwich City and Hull City before his move to the capital, the Scottish winger is now arguably at the biggest club he has played for in his career, and under the most pressure following his big-money move.

He needs more time on the pitch and a full pre-season to show what he can do.

He needs a striker to work with

Snodgrass is a winger and if he plays out wide and looks to get crosses in the box, he needs a striker in the middle to convert them.

That is something the Scotland international didn’t have in the closing stages of the season with Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho both absent because of injury.

The 29-year-old certainly deserves another opportunity with the Irons almost certain to try and strengthen their frontline this summer.

Having scored seven Premier League goals in 20 appearances for the Tigers – and nine in all competitions – prior to his move to the London Stadium during the January transfer window, it is clear that Snodgrass has the ability to be a key player at this level.

With the quality he brings from set pieces too, he could prove to be a important part of the West Ham team next season as they aim to qualify for Europe with a successful Premier League campaign.
