Celtic and Rangers have always been hunting grounds for talent for Premier League clubs. There has been many a bargain to be had north of the border – particularly out of The Old Firm. And West…
Stop the rot | One summer signing starts a revolution. Now, more than last week, after ‘that’ dreadful Brentford performance, West Ham need to tear up their midfield and start again. The good news is that there are reinforcements coming over the hill, cavalry-like, in June anyway. One simple addition to the squad can make a huge difference to the way the Hammers perform next season. Pace, mobility, skill – all went AWOL on Saturday and yet -fear not, Hammers fans, the remedy is at hand. Forget Soler, Alvarez, Soucek, Rodriguez. Consider instead – Potts, Earthy, Banzuzi, Orford, Irving and…
West Ham United Have Made A Decision On The Spaniard’s Long-term Future: Right Call From The Hammers? The Paris St-Germain loanee has featured regularly since joining the Hammers back in the summer window. If a report from Claret and Hugh is believed to be true, West Ham United have made the call on Carles Soler’s future. They roped the Spaniard on a season-long loan from Paris St-Germain late in the summer. But he has failed to live up to the expectations thus potentially refraining the Hammers from triggering the option-to-buy clause in his contract. The 28-year-old Spanish international progressed through…
With back-to-back wins in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur supporters have enjoyed a period of respite within a gruelling and injury-hit campaign. Ange Postecoglou’s worries are far from over. Even after defeating Manchester United on Sunday afternoon, Spurs remain in the bottom half of the table, 12th and 14 points behind fourth-place Manchester City. Out of the Carabao Cup, out of the FA Cup, into the last 16 of the Europa League. Tottenham may yet strike gold before the summer, but looking at it with a wider lens, there have been a few bright sparks that may have quite the…
Due for a medical today, Celtic’s teenage goalscoring prodigy is hopefully well on the way to signing a pre-agreement to join West Ham in the summer: His Parkhead contract expires at the end of the season but, rather than sell him in the January window, Celtic decided to keep hold of their youngster Daniel Cummings ‘just in case’ as their third choice striker. The sums involved are peanuts either way so it is understandable that they chose keeping their teenager in the squad – he has after all played in the Champions’ League, if not the SPL! With the thirst…
West Ham’s billionaire majority owner David Sullivan has been hit by a new blow as a reward is offered to aid a police investigation. West Ham are not the only thing giving David Sullivan sleepless nights at the moment. Sullivan and the Hammers board are counting the cost of a failed £155m summer rebuild.

After parting company with David Moyes, Julen Lopetegui and Tim Steidten have both been sacked…
According to reports from Italy, Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to spend a huge figure in the summer to ensure that they win the race for one of the Serie A’s most deadly forwards.

Ange Postecoglou still doesn’t appear to fully trust Tottenham star James Maddison. The Englishman has faced his fair share of criticism this season, with Roy Keane recently tearing into the midfielder. However, Maddison responded perfectly by scoring the match-winner on his return from injury as Postecoglou’s side beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday (16 February). It marked the midfielder’s ninth Premier League goal this term and inspired Tottenham to a big three points in a game which was overshadowed by off-field protests against Daniel Levy and ENIC. However, despite his impressive…
Boost for Sullivan | Hammer’s return to form could save millions. Despite the scoreline, the West Ham loss to Brentford wasn’t all desperation, gloom and doom. Not quite. You have to search for it, but the better news for West Ham is there – one formerly out of favour and out of form player is back on-song. And that isn’t even ‘just’ my opinion. The people at onefootball.com awarded West Ham’s ‘keeper Alphonse Areola an ‘eight’ when it came to their rankings on Saturday. And that shines in the gloom of some pretty poor numbers, Emerson Palmieri and Carlos Soler…

Bowen has endured significant West Ham injury problems for West Ham this season, which kept him out for several weeks earlier in the…
