London taxpayers may have to pay an extra £2.5m if West Ham are relegated from the Premier League, because of the club's lease agreement for London Stadium.

West Ham United’s 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United on Sunday left Tottenham Hotspur realistically only needing one more point to win the battle for English Premier League survival, while Bruno Fernandes made history in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest.

Udinese’s Oumar Solet has impressed in the last 12 months and is deservedly attracting attention from Chelsea. Over the past year or so, Sport Witness have covered West Ham’s interest in the centre-back.

It was less than three years ago that West Ham were lifting a European trophy in Prague. But they are now on the verge of relegation from Premier League.

The FA Cup final, the battle for Europe, the relegation battle and a controversy-addled title decider in Scotland. It's big, all right.
