Arne Engels has yet to win over large sections of the West Ham fans following his move from Celtic this summer. The Belgian has featured in two league matches for his new club and they have failed to win either one.
Celtic fans may be looking at West Ham’s reaction and think they got a good deal for the former Ausburg player with all things considered.
The fan reaction following West Ham’s 1-1 draw with Watford suggests Engels still has some way to go if he wants to be considered a fans favourite moving forward.
What West Ham fans are saying about Arne Engels

Still early days for Arne
To be fair, there are West Ham fans who feel like the Belgian needs more time to settle in before he can be judged on his performances. However, large sections seem completely unconvinced by him.
Celtic fans will know Engels has quality but his form in the Hoops was very hit and miss. Supporters will understand the Hammers fanbase being underwhelmed by what they’ve seen from the Belgian so far. Every move has a risk of not working out for one reason or another. Hopefully Engels turns the corner quickly and manages to establish himself in the West Ham side sooner rather than later.
Opinion
It was always a strange move for Engels considering some of the names that were mentioned as having an interest in him. Maybe a move to Lazio or something similar in Serie A would have suited him better. Not sure I see a physical league like the Championship being a good fit for him. Can see him going missing on occasion like he did for Celtic. No doubting his quality, especially from set pieces so hopefully he settles down and starts performing if we have a decent sell on.
