‘I hated it’ – Hammers star shares what he didn’t enjoy about Watford game
West Ham United all but secured safety with two Premier League games to spare following their 3-1 victory over Watford at the London Stadium last Friday. The Hammers have picked up 37 points after winning 10 games and drawing seven times in 36 games, and their superior goal difference has put them in a commanding position ahead of tonight’s clash against Manchester United and Sunday’s game with Aston Villa. While they aren’t mathematically safe, their goal difference of -13 is vastly superior to Villa (-26) and Watford (-27) and the victory against the Hornets has proven very crucial. West Ham found themselves 3-nil up 36 minutes into the game, but the visitors threatened to hit back and mount a comeback after scoring four minutes into the second-half. David Moyes’ side held on to their vi...

Report: West Ham star has signed a new two-year deal
According to The Sun, West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble has signed a new two-year deal with the London Stadium club. The Hammers skipper had just a year left on his current deal and was due to become a free agent next summer.

Newcastle and West Ham have joined the race to sign the Serie A defender Omar Colley. Both clubs could use some defensive quality next season and Colley’s performances have caught their eye.

Colley has the physical attributes to succeed in English football and if a concrete offer comes along, he is likely to be tempted to move. The chance to play in the Premier League will be hard to turn down. Also, the likes of Newcastle, Southampto...

Antonio sends defiant survival message as Chelsea star reacts to Rice’s goal
West Ham United put in a first-half masterclass to secure a vital 3-1 win over Watford at the London Stadium last night. The Hammers were 3-0 up 36 minutes into the clash, with goals from Michail Antonio, Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice helping David Moyes’ side to get the job done. Watford attempted to launch a comeback when play restarted, with Troy Deeney grabbing a goal four minutes into the second-half, but West Ham stood their ground to hold on to all three points. The victory saw the Hammers move six points clear of the relegation zone with two games left, and it’s safe to say they have all but secured safety. Antonio continued from where he stopped against Norwich City, grabbing the opener and scoring his seventh Premier League goal since action restarted last month. It was Rice’s scr...

Report: West Ham negotiating with La Liga outfit for 21-yr-old, player would cost £9m
West Ham are interested in signing the Barcelona defender Moussa Wague. The right-back has failed to convince the Spanish giants of his quality and he is considered as an expendable asset this summer. As per Mundo Deportivo (via Sportwitness), West Ham are negotiating with Barcelona for the player and the Hammers can sign him permanently or on a loan deal with an option to buy. If West Ham sign the 21-year-old player permanently this summer, it would cost them a lot less.

The Hammers are edging closer to securing their top-flight status and manager David Moyes wants to strengthen his attack going forward. Rangers could be open to the idea of cashing in on Morelos after the coronavirus pandemic hit their finances, but his £20 million evaluation has now dropped to £12 million due to the pandemic. The 24-year-old bagged 12 league goals in 26 appearances for the Light Blues this term, with 14 others coming in the Europa League qualifying round and...
