We don't think it is very serious, Arne Slot said after the game. He felt his back too much during the warm-up to start. He wasn't able to be 100 per cent or close to 100 per cent. So, we decided not to play him, but hope and expect him to be with us next week.

The Canada international was a prolific scorer at former club Lille but hasn't made the smoothest start to life at Juve, scoring only seven goals in 34 games so far. West Ham could have been a good option for David, and at one point he thought he was on his way to the Hammers, according to Claret and Hugh. Still, it seems there was some uncertainty about whether or not David suited the team's style of play, and it led to the deal collapsing.

In 2016, West Ham United played at Upton Park for the final time. They hosted Manchester United in May of that year, and looked to be heading for defeat when Anthony Martial notched a second-half brace in just over 20 minutes, but came back to win 3-2. Those three Hammers scorers will remain nameless for now, as we want you to name West Ham's starting line-up from that game. We've given you the positions, and a hint on how long each name is.

They played much better, but we have to manage it much better, even because we know we were 2-0 up, and we just need to win this game, Soucek said. We have to go for counter-attacks again as to score a third goal would be important, but we can't concede three goals, because it's sometimes too easy. That's the mentality we should have [to score a third goal], because the best defence is to attack, so that's what we want, but sometimes when we are winning we go too much to defence, and then they create the chances and we didn't manage that.

West Ham United crashed to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea in the Premier League and manager Nuno Espirito Santo has now admitted that the approach did not work out. West Ham employed a high-pressing style of football against Chelsea and did reasonably well until the hour mark. However, fatigue crept in during the second half, and West Ham eventually lost their spark.

Set-piece specialist James Ward-Prowse is on his way out of east London this month after West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo gave the 31-year-old permission to undergo a medical with a Premier League rival. West Ham are re-shaping their squad in the January transfer window with the likes of Pablo and Taty Castellanos having already arrived from Gil Vicente and Lazio, respectively, for a combined 50 million.

West Ham United are preparing to revive their long-standing interest in Harry Maguire ahead of the summer transfer window, with Football Insider reporting that the club are hopeful of securing the Manchester United defender on a free transfer. The Hammers came close to signing Maguire during David Moyes' tenure, only for the move to collapse late in negotiations. Now, with his contract at Old Trafford nearing its end, West Ham believe this summer represents their best chance yet to bring him to London Stadium.

The unfamiliar sensation coursing through West Ham is hope. Seemingly down and out after their devastating defeat to Nottingham Forest earlier this month, the prospect of Nuno Espirito Santo masterminding the unlikeliest of escapes feels far from outlandish after seeing his side treat the London Stadium to the rare sensation of a performance full of craft, desire and tactical intelligence. Sunderland were blown away by three goals inside the first 43 minutes. They looked stunned by West Ham's intensity and quality in attack. Jarrod Bowen was outstanding, Crysencio Summerville scored for the third time in as many games and the brilliance of Mateus Fernandes in midfield suggested that West Ham will be able to cope if they grant Lucas Paqueta his wish to join Flamengo.

They decided to terminate two contracts earlier this month, according to documents from Companies House (h/t Hammers News). David Sullivan, Junior and Jiri Svarc have had their contract terminated. Svarc joined the club in September 2022, and he has now been reappointed to the parent company, WH Holding Ltd. Similarly, Sullivan Junior has also joined the parent company after his contract with West Ham United was terminated.
