David Moyes has revealed Winston Reid will be joining a team in the USA on loan for the rest of the season.

The Kiwi centre half hasn't played a competitive first team game for the Hammers in nearly two years, since Moyes was last in charge, when he was knocked out and suffered knee ligament damage during a 4-1 defeat at Swansea City.

Reid returned to pre-season training ahead of the 2018/19 campaign when Manuel Pellegrini took over but suffered another ligament injury in a training camp in Austria and was ruled out for the entire first season of th Chilean's reign.

Reid made another comeback this past pre-season out in China for the Premier League Asia Trophy where he played 45 minutes in defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle in Nanjing and Shanghai.

He also featured in friendlies against Altach and Hertha Berlin but hasn't played for the first team this season. He's had two under-23s displays under his belt and has been a part of the last three Premier League matchday squads but hasn't seen any game time.

Now, it looks as though his immediate future will lie elsewhere over in the States, though their transfer window doesn't open until February.

Moyes said on Tuesday: "Winston Reid is going to join a club in America on loan, everything being well. I don't want to give you a club just now, he's got to get through a medical and a few other things."

The Hammers are still actively looking to sell Carlos Sanchez this month with football.london understanding that a couple of Spanish teams have been offered the Colombian midfielder and have expressed an interest in taking him on.

However, both teams who have responded need to make room in their squads to accommodate the potential arrival of Sanchez, who has been a complete flop since his move from Fiorentina in the summer of 2018 in one of former director of football Mario Husillos' gravest errors of judgement.
