West Ham have recently been involved in a lot of signings in the attacking front after coming in for a lot of criticism for their defensive football last season.

The win that West Ham secured against Tottenham at White Hart Lane towards the end of the last year was their first at that venue in more than a decade.

“I hope that performance puts to bed all the speculation about the manager. When you lose games, the manager takes most of the criticism but I think he’s handled it really well, in difficult circumstances at times. “We would love him to stay, he’s part of the reason why I came to the club but obviously the owners make all those decisions’’.
