West Ham faced a deadline day crisis as transfers for Said Benrahma and Pablo Fornals to Lyon and Real Betis respectively failed due to paperwork issues. FIFA approved the moves post-deadline with Fornals joining Betis for £6.8m and Benrahma going to Lyon on loan with a £15m option.

West Ham expressed fury at Lyon’s accusations of ‘incomprehensible behaviour’ and a ‘deep lack of respect.’ Manager David Moyes challenged Lyon’s claims stating the need to clarify the situation. Despite the setback Moyes is advancing in finalizing his new contract with West Ham.

Despite the setbacks in attack due to the departure of Benrahma and Fornals the club maintains its sixth position in the Premier League.
