Jesse Lingard, who opted for Nottingham Forest instead of West Ham this summer, has been scolded by travelling Hammers fans this afternoon. The 29-year-old is reportedly earning £200,000-a-week at his new club, which places him above some the Premier League’s prized assets including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ruben Dias. The former Manchester United midfielder was close to joining West Ham this summer having spent a portion of last season on loan at the London Stadium, where he enjoyed a fruitful spell notching in nine goals and registering five assists in 16 games. It would seem the West Ham faithful have taken it upon themselves to let Lingard know just what they think of his decision, with may fans complaining he chose the offer with the biggest fiscal reward. With Lingard represen...

In recent seasons, West Ham have more often than not always done well when it comes to set-pieces, and since David Moyes returned to the club in January 2020, no side have scored more goals from set play. David Moyes’ men scored 60 goals in the Premier League last season, with 14 of them coming through set play. Michail Antonio and Tomas Soucek both netted three times from such situations, whilst Craig Dawson scored two in the league, and one in the Europa League. Hammers faithful definitely seem excited about the new season, now their side has gained even more height in and around the box… Onana 6’5Scamacca 6’4 Ogbonna 6’3Soucek 6’3Zouma 6’2Aguerd 6’2 Dawson 6’2 Rice 6’0 I love set pieces — Arun (@ArunWHU) August 3, 2022 The Hammers were joint fifth in the ranking for goals coming from se...
West Ham United have agreed a fee of £33.5m (40m euros) plus add ons to sign Amadou Onana from French side Lille. David Moyes has been looking to bolster his squad ahead of their second consecutive season playing European football. They’ll be facing either Viborg of Denmark or B36 Tórshavn of the Faroe Islands in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round. Onana should be a Hammers player by the time their Europe campaign gets underway, where he’ll join the likes of fellow former Ligue 1 players in Nayef Aguerd (Rennes) and Alphonse Areola (PSG). Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca also signed for the London side last week. The 20-year-old Belgian has come out of nowhere, becoming one of Ligue 1’s most wanted young talents, with Everton also interested in him. Liverpool manager Jurgen ...
You often hear the song “by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen” chiming around football stadiums across England, but we have decided to put that clout-chasing to the test by taking a comprehensive look at social media’s most popular Premier League teams. These incredible results show how far Man Utd still dominates as a Brand despite their on the pitch issues. For example, Man Utd has more than double the amount of social followers as their City rivals – despite the latter’s success over the last five years. It’s also interesting that the top 6 Premier League teams make up 88% of numbers, which reveals the enormous sway that the top 6 teams still have in the league.

West Ham have made the first formal approach for Sassuolo’s widely-admired Gianluca Scamacca with a bid thought to be in excess of £34m. The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the brightest sparks in Serie A following a dazzling display last season, as he notched in 16 goals in 36 league appearances. Gone are the days of lumpy target men, Scamacca is of a new breed of striker; 6″5 is a mighty frame, but he combines surprising athleticism and speed with ball-carrying ability and an inherent knack for finding the net in spectacular style. The Hammers are eager to add another offensive option to their roster this summer, and remain keen on Chelsea youngster Armando Broja for whom they have made an initial £30m proposal, although the Blues are reluctant to sell. Take a look below at some o...
After advanced talks over a return to West Ham broke down yesterday, Nottingham Forest are now said to be in the important stages of securing a deal for Jesse Lingard. The 29-year-old is available as a free agent after parting company with boyhood club Manchester United this summer, and a return to West Ham, where he spent six months on loan last season, looked to be the most likely destination. After we reported yesterday that a deal was imminent, a dispute over wage demands which the Hammers are not prepared to meet, has led to an impasse. This has allowed Nottingham Forest to enter the mix, with the Tricky Reds prepared to offer the midfielder a substantial wage package in order to bring him to City Ground next season. Nottingham Forest have made a substantial offer to sign Jesse Lingar...
West Ham are close to securing two more summer signings with the club looking to bring in former loanee Jesse Lingard on a free, while they are also pushing hard in negotiations for Southampton’s Armando Broja. Just last week it seemed as though Chelsea were reluctant to let talented young forward Armando Broja leave on a permanent deal, with a possible loan deal the likeliest outcome for West Ham. It now seems the Hammers are closing in on a permanent transfer after they tabled a £30m proposal, which is believed to be enough to secure his services. The English-born striker, who represents Albania at international level, spent last season on loan at Southampton where he caught the attention of a whole host of England’s top clubs. With five goals in 15 appearances, including three in his la...
