Guess the current West Ham player from these three clues:
I have played in the Premier League for a club other than the Hammers.
I am Dutch, but I am yet to make my senior debut for my nation.
I was the top scorer for a Championship club in 2023-24.

Image source, PA MediaWest Ham's Jarrod Bowen has been involved in six goals in his past six Premier League games (four goals, two assists), scoring in each of his past three at London Stadium. The Hammers player to score in four consecutive home league games most recently was Jesse Lingard in April 2021.
West Ham have not lost their final home league game in any of the past seven campaigns (W5 D2), since a 4- 0 loss against Liverpool in 2016-17.
They have won five of their six Premier League home games against Nottingham Forest, the exception being a 1-0 defeat in January 1997.

The frustration is when it is clear and obvious. Officials have been overseeing games for many years and they would always flag whether they were right or wrong.
Now technology has come into it, they are very reliant on VAR to make the right decision, the factual decision, about an offside. But, I think when an offside is so clear and obvious, it should be the duty of the assistant referee to put their flag up and stop play from the off.
When it is marginal, I understand we are a bit more hesitant when there are really fine margins, and we have seen those fine margins when goals have been given and it is a toenail to keep them on-side. I would understand it from that point of view, but it was on the halfway-line where the offside happened on Sunday, only for play to be allowed to continue.
It has been a matter of time. It has been a time bomb waiting to go off for somebody to get seriously injured. Awoniyi is the one that has got that injury - that horrific injury - because of it. Some will say it is only the first time it has happened in the duration of this rule, but it should never happen. That is how players will be looking at it, how fans and managers will be looking at it and saying 'it should never happen'. We should not wait for something to happen to reassess rules like this.
I don't like the ruling of it - it is on the halfway-line, it is clear and obviously offside, everybody in the stadium could probably see it. It should be for the assistant referee to make the decision. There are small margins in the box, I understand why they are a bit hesitant, but in open play, if somebody is sprinting, you could cause hamstring, quad, and all types of muscle injuries.
I am totally against this rule of waiting to put up the flag and I think most players and managers are as well. It's disappointing. I think it's a rule that nobody likes, and I'm sure in the summer off the back of this injury, one that will probably be reassessed.

Image source, PA MediaBefore this season it was hard to imagine a world where West Ham fans would struggle to care about doing the double over Manchester United.
Of course it was great watching us win 2-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday, after our 2-1 victory in October at London Stadium. But given how woeful United's Premier League season has been and their Europa League final against Tottenham (come on you Reds, by the way!) their players could not have cared less, and it showed.
However, arguably the most important factor, and the most disheartening, in why there was a feeling of general apathy after the win is how abject 2024-25 has been for West Ham - proven by the fact the victory moved us to the heady heights of 15th!
It's a shame really and sadly I can't see next season or beyond being much better.
We also bid farewell to some club legends at the end of the season, with Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal and Lukasz Fabianski all leaving when their contracts expire.
Even in my 30s, I still feel emotional saying goodbye to players who have given so much to our club. All three were integral in our recent historic European runs while Cresswell is the only player, along with Michail Antonio, who was there for the iconic last season at Upton Park.
Although I can't help but feel Coufal's departure is a little premature, I wish them all the very best for the future and thank them from the bottom of my heart for everything they have done for West Ham.

Image source, Getty ImagesBBC Sport's chief football news reporter Simon Stone has been answering your questions on the transfer window.
Andy, Surrey: I'm a West Ham fan and we need a squad overhaul. I was wondering how you think we should strengthen the squad and which players we'll have to sell to bring players in?
Simon: I touched on this in my match report on Sunday. Clearly, the much-hyped recruitment campaign under Tim Steidten and Julen Lopetegui last summer went badly wrong. Aaron Wan-Bissaka did well and Max Kilman was OK but Crysencio Summerville, Guido Rodriguez, Luis Guilherme and Niclas Fullkrug failed to reach the heights expected on a consistent basis.
Evan Ferguson came in as an answer to striking issues in the winter window, but couldn't establish himself. Now, West Ham need to find a way of funding Graham Potter's squad-building plans because the Declan Rice money has gone, there is no European football and West Ham's league position is costing them Premier League prize money.
With Lucas Paqueta's future still uncertain, selling Mohammed Kudus is now a distinct possibility. The massive concern for me is around skipper Jarrod Bowen. West Ham could get a lot of money for him, but he feels like someone you build a squad around.
Head of recruitment Kyle Macaulay will be a key figure in identifying potential targets, having worked with Potter since his days in Sweden. I would think more dynamism in midfield will be a major aim, as well as a consistent goalscorer.

Here are some of your comments:
Man Utd fans
Danyal: I completely understand that we won two European games with an aggregate score of six plus, and beat teams with aggression. But seriously, how can these players have such a drop from the Europa League? Regardless of being in the Europa League final, to play like that in the league is embarrassing - especially at home. If we win the Europa League, I could forget some part of the season we have had in the league. But for a club of United's stature, it is very poor. However, Ruben Amorim knows this and in his post-match interview he was clear. So there's still good signs!
Debbie: I would rather be 16th in the league and be in a final of a major competition than just fighting for pointless points in the league. We have nothing to play for and they were all worried about getting injured today. Roll on the end of the Premier League and let's win the Europa League!
Keith: This Manchester United side is so poor, but why do they seem to lack the intensity in Premier League games. They get out-fought and out-run. completion is abysmal, as is their decision-making. Forgetting the obvious lack of quality in the squad, they are so weak mentally. How can you not get gee yourself up for a home game? I cannot wait for this season to be over, so the clear-out and rebuild can start properly.
West Ham fans
Tom: A good performance and hopefully will mean we can end this season on a bit of a high. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been the g of the season in my eyes, another emphatic performance today - definitely my Hammer of the Year!
Richard: Excellent game of football, both teams playing some good stuff but West Ham were superior in both attack and defence. It was the best game West Ham have played this season!
William: A better performance, although, not much opposition. A bit late in the season, but it was nice to see some fight within the team. Time will tell if Graham Potter is right for the club.
Saad: With our best players available, we beat the second XI of a team that absent-mindedly interrupted its focused preparations for a European final to have a bit of a light warm-up kickabout with us in a meaningless fixture. How does this mean we have turned a corner? I mean, well done lads and it is better than losing from two-nil up in the final 60 seconds of a match. But breaking out the champagne?

We've been in the middle of a really tough run. Today was great in that regard. The players executed things really well. Good intelligence. They showed all the things they needed to to win a football match. A great day for everyone involved with West Ham.
"You can talk tactics but it's about desire and application and sticking together. The player's attitude and commitment to what we're trying to do has been first class.
"We have the capacity. We just have to keep working."
Image source, Getty ImagesJarrod Bowen has scored (3 goals) or assisted (2 assists) a goal in four consecutive Premier League appearances for West Ham, his t-longest run in the competition, also doing four in a row from March to April 2021.
This was the Hammers' first league win at Old Trafford since 2006-07, ending a run of 16 league trips there without a win (D3 L13).

I am not sure who would want to watch this game? Manchester United's second string versus such a poor West Ham side with nothing to play for is not exactly essential viewing, is it?
The Europa League final is going to be Ruben Amorim's focus for the rest of the season and Brentford made the most of that when they beat a weakened United team last weekend.
I am not sure the Hammers are as dynamic as Brentford in attack, however, so they may not be capable of doing the same thing.
A lot depends on the United team selection, though. It is hard enough making predictions anyway, but its even harder when there could be mass changes, and you don't know whether it is the United first team who are going to play, or be more like the youth team.
That makes this more of a guess, when I am used to applying science to my predictions, but I wish I had gone for West Ham to draw with Tottenham last week, and I am not going to make the same mistake this time.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on the impending departures of Aaron Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal and Danny Ings
Here are some of your comments:
Alison: Real professionals all of them. Their influence in the dressing room will be missed - would have possibly offered Cresswell and Fabianski another year. Go with my thanks for their contributions over the years.
Steve: Sorry to see them go but it's time for change. Fabianski and Coufal have been consistently great and Cresswell was excellent until a couple of years ago. But unfortunately Ings never quite got going, he's talented, scored some important goals but didn't make a big impression.
Dave: Only gutted about Coufal leaving really. I think he's still got a lot to offer as a squad player and back-up to Wan-Bissaka. Cresswell and Fabianski have been great club servants but are getting on now. Danny Ings never had the best of times here.
Ken: A mixed bag regarding the four departures. They are all good enough to be playing more first-team football than they currently are and if they want to leave for this reason then I'm happy for them. Ings leaving is the biggest plus and perhaps Cresswell the saddest - for his longevity, adaptability and presence off the pitch. I thought he may get another year to mentor Scarles and slot in at LB or left CB in a back three, but he leaves as a near-legend for the club.
Lee: It's always hard to see long-serving players move on. Coufal. Cresswell and Fabianski have all played a big part at West Ham but Ings never really fitted in and certainly didn't get the number of goals we hoped for.. but good luck to them all.

BBC Sport journalist
West Ham boss Graham Potter has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game at Manchester United (kick-off 14:15 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Edson Alvarez returns to the squad after a back injury, but there are no other team changes.
He gave his response to the departures of long-serving players Aaron Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal and Danny Ings: "They have had amazing contributions and were part of a really successful period at the club. They are really good people with fantastic careers."
He added that they have "conducted themselves professionally on and off the pitch and we wish them all the best".
On Jarrod Bowen's influence as a leader: "He is honest and takes responsibility. He works hard every day and leads quietly but always speaks with intelligence and authority."
Lucas Paqueta is going through a "tough" time but is someone who cares a lot and everyone is ing him.
Potter also said that Michael Antonio's injury situation is "unique" in of his recovery but the club are ing him through it.
He said the current period will give West Ham a "foundation" to go forward and change the dynamic, something he sees as "really exciting".
He dismissed the suggestion that West Ham's good recent record against Manchester United will influence this game: "You don't get anything for what you have done in the past."
Asked on how to approach the game, his response was that it is "always complicated at Old Trafford" but that West Ham need to focus on themselves because "that's all we can control".
Potter said his opposite number Ruben Amorim faces a "tough job" but that the Europa League final is a great opportunity for him to "end the season on a high".

"Aaron, Lukasz, Vladimir and Danny have been a pleasure to work with in my time here so far," said manager Graham Potter.
"They are brilliant professionals on and off the pitch, with fantastic experience in the Premier League, and clearly loved and ired by their team-mates and everyone here at the club."

The Hammers are winless in their past eight league games, last enduring a longer run in the competition in May 2011 (nine games).
Having lost his first five Premier League meetings with Manchester United, West Ham boss Graham Potter is since unbeaten in three against the Red Devils. He won 2-1 on his previous visit to Old Trafford with Brighton in August 2022.
