West Ham have rung Celtic in recent days to get their word in for Belgium midfielder Arne Engels, but many others are doing so, making it a complicated deal.

The Hammers are looking to take advantage of Engels’ situation as he has made it known to Celtic that he would like to not remain at the club beyond the summer. Whilst that’s seemingly a positive, the negative is that this notification hasn’t only gone out to West Ham, and both AC Milan and Roma are trying to convince him to join.

An exit is guaranteed, but to where is unknown.

As anticipated with the players, the Hammers are also expected to face a full revamped back room staff coming into next season, with the expectation of Nuno to be backed with people he feels he can best work with rather than the cheaper alternative.

Not necessarily affecting Nuno directly, but this morning, Maximilian Hahn has resigned from his recruitment position at West Ham, with Dylan Curnell promoted to a more senior position.

Dylan is a boyhood Hammers fan who has spent over seven years at the club working as part of our academy analysis team.

With West Ham confirming Nuno Espírito Santo’s stay at the club within a few days of relegation being confirmed, the Hammers now turn their attention to the staff as well as the players.

Assistant Head Coach Paco Jemez has released a statement which indicates his time at West Ham is over after his contract has run out. Whilst disappointing, West Ham was his first-ever gig as an assistant, and he wants to explore an avenue elsewhere, somewhere he’ll be the top dog.
