Released West Ham man snapped up by new club on a free transfer

Mesaque Dju has signed for OFI Crete following his departure from West Ham.

The winger has found himself a new home on a free transfer.

Dju, 23, cut ties with the Hammers at the end of last season and has since been weighing up his next move in the game.

OFI Crete have now announced on their official club website that he has linked up with them.

West Ham spell

West Ham swooped to sign the attacker back in 2019 and he spent three years on the books of the Premier League club.

Prior to his move to the London Stadium, he had risen up through the youth ranks of Portuguese giants Benfica.

Dju never made a senior appearance for David Moyes’ side but was a regular for the U21s, scoring four goals in his 29 appearances in all competitions.

His deal expired at the end of June and the Hammers decided not to extend his stay with his pathway into their senior team blocked by the abundance of top quality options they have in his position.

OFI Crete play their football in the Greek top flight and came 8th last term.

Former Arsenal, Hull City and Birmingham City midfielder Jon Toral plays for them these days, as does ex-West Brom attacker Thievy Bissouma.
