What's going on at West Ham?
PAUL DONOVAN explains
West Ham United manager David Moyes celebrates with the trophy at the Old Town Hall in Stratford, London, following Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final and ended their 43-year wait for a trophy. Picture date: Thursday June 8, 2023.

A LOT of fans are wondering what is happening at West Ham United Football Club.

It’s just two months since the club won the European Conference League. Hopes were high for the new season but that all quickly dissipated after the celebrations on Stratford Broadway.

Top player Declan Rice has departed for neighbours Arsenal in a £105 million move. Other players have wanted away. Few seem to want to come to the London Stadium.
