This morning, for the first time since suffering relegation on the final day, Nuno Espirito Santo has sat down on the West Ham YouTube Channel and discussed his thoughts on relegation, the upcoming season, summer changes and the overall feeling coming into the Championship.

Whilst the video contains what you’d tend to see in a discussion as such, he does mention a few key details amongst the 13 minutes.

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.
