West Ham United were beaten 3-2 by Newcastle United in the Premier League yesterday and the Hammers will be disappointed with the way they lost the game. Unnecessary defensive errors cost the Hammers vital three points yesterday and the defeat could be damaging to their top-four aspirations.

It will be interesting to see if they can get the signing across the line before the domestic window closes on the 16th of October. West Ham have been linked with a move for the Swansea defender Joe Rodon as well but the signing cou...
