The Hammers only victories of the campaign have come at home to newly promoted Huddersfield Town and struggling Swansea City, the latter courtesy of a 90th-minute winner.

According to a recent report from Fabrizio Romano, Granit Xhaka’s move from Arsenal to Roma this summer is believed to have collapsed.

Arsenal will instead announce a new contract extension for the Swiss star who, in the eyes of many, had a really strong tournament at Euro 2020 that saw him help guide Switzerland to the latter stages of the knockouts.

They didn’t quite manage to go all the way but what they did do was earn the respect of the football world with Xhaka being at the forefront of that.

He doesn’t alway show up when it matters the most for the Gunners but whenever he does, there are few midfielders better in the Premier League.

Arsenal quite clearly understand that and they’re willing to take the plunge by offering him an exciting new…

Germany coach Joachim Loew claims Mario Gomez is more than worthy of his starting place ahead of their Euro 2012 clash with Netherlands.

Going into the Group B match against Bert van Marwijk s side on Wednesday, the 52-year old Loew answered questions on Gomez, as doubts were raised over the striker s work ethic by former Bayern Munich man Mehmet Scholl.

So we judge the players on how they play regardless of what everyone else says.

Perhaps such opinions mi…
