It was being heavily rumoured in the papers for the last few weeks, but today, West Ham have officially confirmed the transfer of Algerian winger Sofiane Feghouli to Turkish giants Galatasaray. Feghouli has moved for an undisclosed fee, reported to be around 4.2 million euros, and has put pen to paper a five year deal in Istanbul.

Feghouli is the latest in the long list of players the Hammers signed last year (2016), but have let go this year- other names on that list being Ashley Fletcher, Havardt Nordveit, Simone Zaza, Jonathan Calleri, Gokhan Tore and Alvaro Arbeloa. [Read more…]

Key moment Video Feghouli open goal miss vs Man City in the FA Cup

West Ham midfielder Sofiane Feghouli will not be required to serve a three game ban and is free to play against Man City on Friday in the FA Cup after the Football Association overturned his red card. Feghouli was sent off 15 minutes into West Ham’s 2-0 loss against Manchester United by Mike Dean for his “challenge” on Phil Jones.

While it’s good that his red has been overturned (check the video below for his dismissal), it’s a bit frustrating for West Ham fans that it cannot alter the result of the game- one where they started well and then had to play 75 minutes one man down.

West Ham have also now had four of their last five red cards rescinded by the FA- not a stat that makes for happy reading at all! [Read more…]
