Hammers were drawn in Group A of the Europa League along with Olympiacos, SC Freiburg, FK Tsc Backa Topola. Not so good for travelling fans, but one hell of a lot better than Brighton's group B which has already been labeled the group of death featuring Ajax, Marseille and AEK Athens!

Hugo Ekitike the 21 year old signed by French giants PSG only last season in a big money €28.5 Million move from Stade Reims is not going to get ANY game time at PSG this coming season, with his club wanting him out on loan or preferably sold given his poor showing.

Very little time remains until the transfer window closes in the UK, however this season the new Saudi Pro League will be throwing a spanner in the works as their cash rich government backed clubs are allowed to sign players up until the 7th of September, that is according to the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF).

The extra week available means the Saudi clubs can pick off transfers that didn't manage to get completed during the European window giving them what has been described as an unfair advantage!
