“Opinion: West Ham Star Likely Frustrated by Latest International Snub”
"Aaron Wan-Bissaka Shines for West Ham but Remains Overlooked"
West Ham’s season has largely been disappointing, but there have been notable positives from their campaign at the London Stadium.
Since Graham Potter’s arrival, the team has improved across the pitch, particularly in defense.
A key figure in that defensive resurgence has been Aaron Wan-Bissaka. However, despite his efforts, he has not received the recognition he arguably deserves.
Tuchel Overlooks Wan-Bissaka
Wan-Bissaka’s performances this season made him a strong candidate for England’s squad for the March international break.
Yet, Thomas Tuchel has instead chosen Reece James and Kyle Walker, even though James has missed half the season due to injury.
The omission will leave Wan-Bissaka wondering what more he must do to earn a spot in the England setup.
However, this setback could actually benefit both the player and West Ham.
His frustration at being overlooked may fuel his determination, potentially leading to even better performances for his club.
A Silver Lining for Potter
While Wan-Bissaka’s exclusion is frustrating for him, it could be a boost for Potter.
With no international commitments, the defender will remain available for selection, reducing the risk of injury and ensuring he stays fresh for the final stretch of the season.
West Ham’s primary objective now is to finish the season as strongly as possible, building momentum for the next campaign.
Although significant work is still needed to restore the club to the upper echelons of the Premier League, for now, the focus remains on delivering strong performances on the pitch.
