<\/a>West Ham sign Argentine striker from Lazio<\/p>\n

Valentin Castellanos, known as \u2018Taty\u2019, has joined West Ham from Lazio. <\/p>\n

The Argentina joins a rich history of compatriots who built a bond with the Hammers faithful: Carlos Tevez, Mauro Zarate and Manuel Lanzini.<\/p>\n

Will he be enough to boost their goals to fire them to safety?<\/p>\n

<\/a>What Gary Neville said about Ruben Amorim just before his Man United sacking<\/p>\n

Following United\u2019s 1-1 Premier League<\/a> draw at Leeds on Sunday, Amorim stressed that he was manager of the club, rather than just their coach, during a tetchy press conference that raised doubts over his future.<\/p>\n

<\/a>McFarlane on Chelsea characters<\/p>\n

Temporary boss Calum McFarlane paid tribute to the Chelsea players after they shrugged off a week of turmoil to snatch an unexpected draw at Manchester City<\/a>. <\/p>\n

McFarlane said: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of change that\u2019s gone on. Enzo was incredibly successful with this group and some of them were shocked by the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the character that they\u2019ve shown in the last two days. Everyone thought we were coming here to lose. No-one thought we stood a chance.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we knew the character and the talent in this group and they\u2019ve really dragged it through. I can\u2019t speak highly enough about the characters in the group.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>West Ham targets<\/p>\n

Gil Vicente striker Pablo is a player who is also represented by Jorge Mendes\u2019 Gestifute agency, the same as Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s.<\/p>\n

West Ham are also hoping to sign Fulham’s Adama Traore and have agreed a \u00a325.2m deal with Lazio for forward Taty Castellanos.<\/p>\n

<\/a>West Ham have no intention to sack Nuno<\/p>\n

One Portuguese manager has been sacked today and another one has (seemingly) been saved. <\/p>\n

Nuno Espirito Santo is under pressure at West Ham United with the club sitting 18th in the table and in danger of relegation. <\/p>\n

Sky Sports News report that the club have no intentions of sacking Nuno and are planning their January moves around the manager\u2019s suggestions on players. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Where did Ruben Amorim rank among Man United\u2019s worst managers?<\/p>\n

Arriving to much hype after a spectacular reign at Sporting CP<\/a>, Amorim failed to inspire a change of fortunes in his 14 months at United and instead oversaw a drastic decline in results.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Simpson-Pusey heading to Germany<\/p>\n

Manchester City youngster Jahmai Simpson-Pusey is in Germany and is set to join FC Koln on loan.<\/p>\n

The centre-back spent the first half of the campaign at Celtic but played only 64 league minutes for the reigning Scottish champions.<\/p>\n

City hope this next loan will provide more minutes for the 20-year-old. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Tzolis on Spurs’ shortlist<\/p>\n

Club Brugge’s 23-year-old Greek winger Christos Tzolis, who made 14 Premier League appearances for relegated Norwich City during the 2021\/22 season, is top of a shortlist at Tottenham Hotspur. <\/p>\n

That list is for a new forward after Mohammed Kudus picked up an injury against Sunderland and Brennan Johnson is set to move to Crystal Palace for \u00a335m. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Wayne Rooney emphatically backs favourite for Chelsea job: \u2018He won\u2019t disappoint\u2019<\/p>\n

Wayne Rooney<\/a> has emphatically backed Liam Rosenior, stating the coach has completed his “apprenticeship” and is ready to take the managerial helm at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Rosenior is reportedly set to leave his role as Strasbourg<\/a> head coach to replace Enzo Maresca<\/a>, having arrived in west London<\/a> on Sunday for discussions with the Blues\u2019 hierarchy.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Rooney backs Rosenior<\/p>\n

Wayne Rooney is backing Liam Rosenior to do well at Chelsea should he be appointed to replace Enzo Maresca as manager. <\/p>\n

Rooney said: “If he goes in there, he won\u2019t disappoint. He\u2019s been waiting for an opportunity like this. If you don\u2019t take it now, then you\u2019re never going to take it. And I think he\u2019s done his apprenticeship, he\u2019s done his work to try and get to that job. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo he\u2019ll have no doubts in his mind that he\u2019s capable of doing that job. And hopefully, very soon, we hear that he is the manager, because for young English<\/a> coaches I think it\u2019s massive. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s taken chances and hopefully that pays off because I think Liam is as good a coach as I\u2019ve ever worked with. His detail, how he approaches the day-to-day, he\u2019s as good as I\u2019ve worked with.” <\/p>\n
