MANAGER SAYS HE’D LOVE TO SIGN £12M WEST HAM MAN HE CALLS ‘THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE’ If any West Ham United fans tuned in to watch his most recent outing, the claret-and-blue faithful will not be surprised in the slightest to learn that the manager who signed their £12 million man on loan last summer is now desperate to strike a permanent deal. A playmaker, a ball-winner, a dictator and a distributor all rolled into one. If there was a more complete midfield performance in the current Championship campaign than the one he put in during Sunday’s 2-1 win…
West Ham midfielder impresses Lopetegui Julen Lopetegui is prepared to offer Flynn Downes an opportunity to revive his West Ham career by involving him in the Hammers’ pre-season training. Downes, a West Ham fan, is currently on loan at Championship club Southampton and is widely regarded as one of the best players in the division. Reports now suggest that the Hammers are ready to give him a chance to impress upon his return to see if he can secure a spot in the first team. If Southampton succeed in their promotion bid, they might pursue a permanent deal for the…
Aaron Cresswell could stay at West Ham this summer after Julen Lopetegui twist. West Ham left-back Aaron Cresswell could still sign a new deal to extend his stay with the club this summer, according to The Evening Standard. Cresswell was expected to leave the club with a move north already mooted, but it is reported that the 34-year-old is someone new manager Julen Lopetegui may want to remain involved at the club. The Hammers left-back has made 16 appearances this season, with just nine coming in the Premier League, but his experience could prove invaluable for Lopetegui’s overhaul of the…
David Moyes is not conducting training today at Rush Green. Instead, a fitness coach is leading the West Ham players through their paces ahead of Saturday’s home game against Luton. Although Moyes was at the training ground yesterday, it was during the players’ day off. None of Moyes’ first-team coaches, including Kevin Nolan, were present at today’s training, which strongly suggests that they will also depart when Moyes leaves West Ham at the end of the season. This series of events is fuelling speculation that Moyes will not be involved in West Ham’s Premier League game against Luton on Saturday.…
West Ham are working on early-window deals to sign Championship stars Callum O’Hare and Jacob Greaves, sources have been told. The Hammers are in the market for British players as the Premier League’s rules state eight members of the squad must be homegrown. We revealed last month technical director Tim Steidten has drawn up a list of domestic targets ahead of the transfer window reopening as the club prepares to lose multiple homegrown players this summer. Attacking midfielder O’Hare and defender Greaves would fit the bill for West Ham after the pair have enjoyed excellent seasons in the Championship with…
Sam Allardyce hits back at David Moyes criticism live on talkSPORT amid West Ham United exit. Allardyce has snapped back at the criticism aimed at David Moyes before the club confirmed his West Ham exit earlier this week. The club have confirmed [5 May] that Moyes would be parting ways with the Hammers upon the expiration of his current contract at the end of the season, with Julen Lopetegui set to take his place. The Scot had been under immense pressure throughout the 2023/24 campaign, mostly frustrating fans with his defensive style of play and poor results. Allardyce, however, has…
Familiar Face To Shore Up Leaky Defence? West Ham United’s defensive woes could be addressed with a familiar face, as Julen Lopetegui reportedly eyes a reunion with Craig Dawson for his first signing as manager. The Hammers have conceded a staggering 70 goals in the Premier League this season, a problem that transcends coaching. While Konstantinos Mavropanos has impressed sometimes, the rest of the backline desperately needs reinforcements. Enter Craig Dawson. West Ham sold Dawson to Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 2023, with Lopetegui at the helm. This suggests Lopetegui is a big admirer of the experienced centre-back. Since Dawson’s departure,…
West Ham United twist shocks David Ornstein after ‘remarkable’ Julen Lopetegui decision Julen Lopetegui has recognised how far West Ham United and the Premier League have progressed as part of his decision to shun the likes of AC Milan and Bayern Munich, says David Ornstein. Ornstein explained on The Athletic Podcast [7 May] that the 57-year-old – whose last job was also in the Premier League with Wolves – was convinced by the project at the London Stadium and the foundations in place, largely thanks to the outgoing David Moyes along with the anticipated financial freedom in the transfer market.…
The goals continue to flow for Luka Vuskovic in a Radomiak Radom shirt. Scoring in successive games for the Polish side at the beginning of March, the 17-year-old added another to his tally on Sunday in their 3-0 win away at ten-man Legia Warsaw. Considering their opponents are in the top six of the Polish top flight and Radomiak are in the bottom half of the table after three successive defeats, it was a huge victory for Vuskovic and his teammates. Tipped for such a bright future in the game after coming through the system with Hajduk Split in Croatia,…
West Ham: Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus fees going straight into West Ham war chest West Ham will be susceptible to offers for star men Lucas Paqueta and Mohammed Kudus in the summer transfer window, sources have told Football Insider. The Irons are set to miss out on European qualification for the 2024-25 campaign after a poor recent run of form. Kudus and Paqueta have been the standout performers for David Moyes’ side throughout this season. It is believed that just like with Declan Rice’s sale last summer (2023), any big-money fees will boost West Ham’s transfer war chest for…
