I'm very glad to be right here. I'm very excited to play for West Ham. I believe it's an enormous step for me. It's an enormous membership, a large membership. The challenge, the stadium, town, every thing. I need to attempt to play soccer, get pleasure from soccer, not simply run and attempt to rating, however attempt to play good soccer. I believe crucial factor is to attempt to give every thing every single day.

The Hearsay Mill continues to spin away. Dominic Sales space has the newest on the newest whispers within the switch universe.

And naturally, Howe is requested if Isak will stay a Newcastle participant by the tip of the window:

It's tough for me to present you any kind of readability on the long run. I've mentioned earlier than, I don't know what the long run holds in that respect as a result of I'm not concerned with it myself. I've received no replace and I'm simply concentrating on bringing gamers into the membership.

The Newcastle supervisor was additionally requested about their Champions League draw. Howe's facet can be enjoying: Barcelona (dwelling), Paris Saint-Germain (away), Benfica (dwelling), Bayer Leverkusen (away), PSV Eindhoven (dwelling), Marseille (away), Athletic Bilbao (dwelling) and Union SG (away).

Actually attention-grabbing. Some nice video games. Exiting prospects. The group we had final time was very tough, the video games we've this time are powerful and difficult.

The Barcelona sport is the one you immediately get drawn to, with the hyperlinks with Sir Bobby and the historical past between the 2 golf equipment. Can we create extra legacy to that fixture?

Eddie Howe has naturally been requested about Nick Woltemade after studies that the German has flown into Tyneside for a medical forward of his £70m transfer from Stuttgart:

Optimistic indicators. Issues are transferring and creating in a great way for the time being. Till it's achieved I can't verify something however fingers crossed.

I don't suppose that's going to be potential [for Woltemade to play against Leeds tomorrow] resulting from numerous causes I don't perceive. An important factor is we attempt to deliver a centre-forward in that's what we've been working onerous to do all summer season.

Slot was additionally requested about Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool's new striker, who has stormed to a powerful begin with two targets in two matches:

He's already made a big effect on the attacking a part of our sport so not solely scoring targets however being a part of buildup conditions the place he was somebody that began the assault.

An important reply to what he can enhance is his match health. I count on him to do much more with out the ball than he already does as a result of he's already working onerous.

It's utterly regular as a result of he has to regulate to a special league from a special enjoying type. Frankfurt wasn't urgent as a lot as we attempt to do, after which coming to a special league, there's rather a lot for him to deal with.

To adapt to the depth ranges with out the ball, there are small steps to make for him.

Regardless of two wins from two, Liverpool have struggled with set-pieces and can face a group on Sunday that thrive from dead-ball conditions:

The factor that stands out for [Arsenal], and in a detrimental method for us, is we've conceded 4 set items, together with the Bilbao sport and that's certainly one of their strengths.

You possibly can see how nicely they're managed by Mikel Arteta, they've been working collectively for 5 years they usually can play nearly each type there may be. It [conceding from set-pieces] is a component we have to enhance, which we had been actually good finally season so there's no panic.

Liverpool's title defence continues on Sunday and Arne Slot was, after all, requested about Alexander Isak, who's doing his finest to drive a transfer to the defending champions from Newcastle.

Eddie Howe's facet have spent many of the summer season attempting to signal a brand new striker to interchange Callum Wilson and Isak, in the event that they let him depart. After lacking out on a number of targets, they lastly appeared to have discovered their man in Nick Woltemade.

Here's what Arne Slot mentioned on the scenario:

If it's true, Newcastle have signed a brand new No9 and that's very good for Eddie as a result of Anthony Gordon is suspended and Isak has not been coaching.

I mentioned after Monday night that I may make a substitute to impression the sport and as all the time, we attempt to signal gamers who can assist us.

However there's no cause, after the primary two video games to complain to suppose we want extra. But when we are able to power the squad, we are going to attempt to do this if it's for the appropriate cash and the appropriate participant.

Let's see if we do one thing and if we are able to, what we are able to do.

Slot's facet will host Arsenal at Anfield, their closest rivals to the title final season:

There are numerous similarities with each groups. The enjoying type of Arsenal hasn't modified an excessive amount of with the brand new signings coming in. Perhaps they've a special No 9 than final season, Jesus is an actual No 9 however he didn't play as a lot, however the one they've now's totally different to Havertz or Trossard. Gyokeres is extra of a goal man in order that's perhaps the place there's a small distinction.

Tottenham are poised to finish the £51.8m signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig. Private phrases have been agreed with the attacking midfielder and a medical has taken place.

Barring any last-minute hitches the deal can be a serious increase for Thomas Frank, who has been hoping so as to add an attacking midfielder. Spurs have have missed out on Eberechi Eze, who joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White.

Chelsea had been additionally concerned with Simons however by no means made a bid for the 22-year-old. There are not any indications that the membership will disrupt their London rivals by making an attempt a late swoop for the Netherlands worldwide.
