Ought to the Hammers pip their Premier League rivals to his signature, it’s going to probably require assurances over sport time.

It will be the identical scenario if the membership signed Joao Neves, because the honest curiosity from sides like Manchester Metropolis and Manchester United would probably pressure Moyes into guaranteeing the teen sport time on the London Stadium.
