With the 2014 World Cup on the horizon, every player is eager to catch the attention of their coach to secure a spot in the final 23-man squad for the Brazilian expedition. This includes Abdul Razak, the Ivorian midfielder who has been somewhat overlooked since his move to Anzhi Makhachkala.
Razak has recently returned to Western Europe by signing a short-term contract with West Ham in the Premier League, as announced by the London club on their official website. Having previously played in the English championship until last summer, Razak is familiar with the league, having featured in several Premier League matches for Manchester City before his stint in Russia.
At 21 years old, Razak has earned 5 caps for the Ivory Coast national team, and he will be looking to make a strong impression to earn his place in the World Cup squad.
