Lucas Paqueta has spoken to clear the air amid reports he wants to leave West Ham in the January transfer window.

He was the subject of a long-running FA investigation and is now said to be eyeing a fresh start with a new club.

Two Premier League clubs are reportedly weighing up a controversial move for Mason Greenwood as the former Manchester United forward continues his dazzling form in France for Marseille.

He initially joined Getafe on loan before making a permanent switch to Ligue 1 giants Marseille last season.

West Ham United are preparing to make a bold statement ahead of the January transfer window by targeting 17-year-old Barcelona sensation Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernandez.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen has launched a scathing critique of his side after they fell to yet another defeat in the Premier League.

With just four points in nine games, West Ham are in crisis.

Brenden Aaronson netted his first Premier League goal of the season on Friday as he scored just three minutes into Leeds United's clash with West Ham.

The goal was a scrappy one as Aaronson put himself into the right place at the right time.

West Ham United are facing the grim prospect of Premier League relegation and the financial fallout could be catastrophic.

With the title race having already swung back and forth while the top-four and relegation battles are as open as they have been for a few years, the Premier League is becoming increasingly difficult to predict.

Joshua Zirkzee is reportedly ready to end his troubled Manchester United spell by formally requesting a transfer in January.

Manchester United outcast Joshua Zirkzee could be close to ending his nightmare spell at Old Trafford with another Premier League team touted to want the Netherlands striker in the forthcoming January transfer window. Zirkzee has barely featured for United this season and he is yet to start or score, managing just 74 minutes across three Premier League appearances and an eight-minute Carabao Cup cameo against lowly Grimsby Town - all as a substitute.

Nuno Espirito Santo has warned West Ham that they are "going to have problems" this season after their 2-0 defeat to Brentford.

Nuno Espirito Santo tore into his "poor" West Ham team as relegation fears grow after a damaging defeat to Brentford on Monday.

The former Chelsea and Brighton boss has revealed that he was ‘humbled’ by Sweden opting to sign him.
