Words emanating from Andriy Yarmolenko's agent indicate that the player wants to return to West Ham after starring for the Ukraine at the Euros. All seemingly very 'inspiring', but without wanting to dampen the parade, is the 30 year old wingers desire to stay at the club motivated by some deep seated desire to prove the doubters wrong, or is it merely a way of ensuring he gets paid another £5.75 Million for the final year of his outrageously generous contract?

As promised we have a nice little interview with Angello Ogbonna, courtesy of Betway, detailing his past involvement with some of the great Italian players of the past. The combative but fair Hammers centre back appears to have overcome his exteme anger at having been excluded from the current Italian squad currently at the Euros.

As we have highlighted before, Hammers financial woes are not just as a result of the Covid pandemic, but also because of previous manager Manuel Pellegrini's profligate spending. Now we know that the co-owners of West Ham don't do themselves a lot of good from a PA point of view, and thankfully they have kept out of the limelight during Hammers recent good run of results that saw the club qualify for a proper European competition for the first time at group stage level.
