Säid Benrahma's Algeria side have crashed out of the AFCON tournament, despite being the current holders and the favourites to win again. Their 3-1 defeat by Sebastien Haller's Ivory Coast that guaranteed their exit is the shock of the tournament so far and had NOT been anticipated.

Remember Albian Ajeti, he who arrived at West Ham with a good pedigree from Swiss club Basel for £10.17 Million in 2019? He arrived as a goal scoring phenomena, but left with goal scoring pneumonia by transferring to Celtic at a £5.5 Million loss.

Ajeti's failure in the Premier League clearly indicates the gulf in difference between the English and Swiss Leagues, scoring for fun in the land of Toblerone and dodgy banks simply doesn't translate into anywhere near the fortitude required to survive the hustle and bustle of the most frenetic league in the World.

Having emptied Hammers' bank account completely, in addition to leaving the club with a MASSIVE repayment schedule, ex-manager Manuel Pellegrini now wants to take advantage of one of his previous 'excesses'. Nothing wrong with that, given what other ex-managers have done to their previous clubs.
