Ex-Southampton player and Italian International Graziano Pelle's unlikely return to the Premier League has just got a lot closer with news that the player's representative has arrived in London to discuss Pelle's move from Chinese Super League club Shandong Luneng. Pelle obviously has the experience David Moyes requires to 'hit the ground running', but at 32 years of age any move for him would be expensive as he would have little or no sell on value at the end of the two and a half year deal that his agent is looking for.

Diafra Sakho has finally managed to leave West Ham United by securing a move to Ligue Une club Stade Rennes, the Senagalese hit man completed his second medical for the club on Sunday night ahead of his 5 million euro transfer. Sakho had already completed his first medical early on in the season when he attempted to force through a move by taking himself to Rennes for the medical which was not authorised by West Ham.

Like many Premier League managers David Moyes elected to make wholesale changes to his starting line up for the FA Cup match against Wigan, Premier League survival being the holy grail. He probably assumed that his team would have a battle on against a rampant and well drilled Wigan team and that they might even end up losing, but never in his worst nightmares could he have envisaged what eventually transpired at the DW Stadium.
