Widzew Lodz Overview

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen has issued a heartfelt apology to the club's supporters following their relegation from the Premier League. The Hammers' 14-year stay in the top flight ended on Sunday, despite a final-day victory, leaving the squad and fanbase in mourning.

SV Werder Bremen appear to have good reason to hope that striker Niclas Füllkrug, who is currently on loan from West Ham United to AC Milan, will return.

The wife of West Ham United goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has launched a scathing social media attack on managers Nuno Espirito Santo and Graham Potter following the club's relegation. Marrion Valette publicly blamed the managerial duo for the Hammers' top-flight demise and directly attributed her husband's recent France World Cup omission to their treatment of him at the London Stadium.

The 2025-26 Premier League season is over, with top-flight players around England making their plans for the summer, whether they involve holidays or, for the lucky few, a chance to put on a show at the World Cup. Even those internationals will get the chance to switch off at some stage, but for their managers, the work never stops, with plans likely already being drawn up for the transfer window and next season.
