West Ham United face-off at home to West Bromwich Albion in week 29 of the Premier League. The Hammers are coming off of 2 wins in 4 days while last place West Brom need every point they can get.

West Ham United had a great week when they last played as they held serve at home over Manchester City on Sunday by a score of 1-0 and then followed that effort up with a 0-1 win away to Wigan Athletic at JJB Stadium. The side managed by Gianfranco Zola are now in 7th place of the Premiership log with 39 points, 6 points behind 6th place Everton. West Ham United are reporting a number of injury concerns at this time with Tristan, Collison, Behrami, Collins, Kieron Dyer and Ashton set to miss out while Boa Morte is doubtful.

The visiting West Bromwich Albion have won just 1 point from their last 6 matches. Last week the Baggies lost at home to Arsenal by a score of 1-3 at the Hawthorns. That result leaves the side managed by Tony Mowbray in last place of the Premier League with 22 points, and they are 6 points back of 17th place Newcastle which is the club they will need to catch in order to avoid relegation.

Hammers technical director Gianluca Nani hopes to finalise a double-deal for Brescia pair Salomon Bartosz and Savio Nsereko this month, with the highly-rated teenage pair likely to be loaned back to the Italian club until the summer.

And here’s some footage of Nsereko in action for the German youth side:

“Gianluca Nani knows very well the qualities of Savio,”

Nsereko’s agent Patrick Bastianelli said this week.

“We talked about Savio no more than a week ago. In those talks Gianluca confirmed his will, and that of Zola’s, to bring the player to West Ham.

Meanwhile Steve Clarke has confessed that players Quashie, Bowyer and Boa Morte could be sold off before the end of the transfer window, in order to cut West Ham’s outfield players down to 20 with 3 goalkeepers, he said:

“Ideally you want 20 outfield players and three goalkeepers and at the moment we are operating with 26 and three keepers, which is a little bit too much,”

“You can’t have an 11 v 11 match in training – it doesn’t work in terms of organising – so it is better to have smaller numbers. You can work better with your team that way.”

Selling Bowyer, Boa Morte and Quashie would bring funds needed to buy the 2 Brescia young duo.
