The Hammers have ambitious plans for Kante’s development. Thus, the Hammers have decided
to send him back on a season long loan to Paris FC instead of bringing him into their U21 team. This move will allow Kante to continue improving his skills in a familiar environment where he has already thrived.

Playing regularly in the French second division will give him valuable experience and further improve his game. At the start of the next season, Kante will join West Ham’s squad. This strategy supports Kante's growth and also aligns well with West Ham’s long term ambitions of building a well balanced team.

Overall, this signing represents a strategic investment in the club’s future. With his impressive talent and potential for growth, Mohamadou Kante could become a key player for West Ham in the seasons to come. Meanwhile, West Ham will face Crystal Palace in the second Premier League match aiming to take their first win of the new season.
