West Ham striker search made harder by Sebastien Haller sale, says David Moyes

David Moyes says the £20million sale of Sebastien Haller is making West Ham’s move to sign a replacement during the January window more difficult. Haller joined Ajax earlier this month for less than half the club-record fee the Hammers paid for the striker in 2019, leaving Moyes with just Michail Antonio as his only senior striker. West Ham have seen a number of bids rejected as they look to sign someone to support Antonio, who has only just returned from his latest hamstring injury.

Mikel Arteta hopes Arsenal have learned lessons after Mesut Ozil and Sokratis contract terminations

Mikel Arteta hopes Arsenal have learned from being forced to mutually terminate the likes of Mesut Ozil’s contract and that it won’t happen again. Arsenal have agreed to end the German’s £350,000-a-week contract early so he can join Fenerbahce this month. The club also came to a similar agreement with defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, who had six months to run on his deal of around £90,000-a-week.
