David Moyes reacts after West Ham relegated from Premier League | OneFootball

David Moyes openly said on Friday that he would love to keep West Ham United in the Premier League by guiding Everton to a final-day victory.

West Ham won 3-0 against Leeds United at the London Stadium, but they also needed Everton to beat Tottenham Hotspur to stay in the top-flight.

However, Spurs triumphed in front of their home crowd after Joao Palhinha’s 42nd-minute winner, confirming the Hammers’ relegation to the Championship.

Moyes was clearly disappointed that his team couldn’t save West Ham from Premier League relegation.

The Scottish boss told BBC Match of the Day: “I’m really sad for them because there are a lot of great people who work behind the scenes there.

“A long part of the season, we weren’t sure if it was Nottingham Forest, West Ham or Tottenham – I thought all three were too strong to go down.”

With relegation confirmed, West Ham are now under pressure to raise more than £100 million in player sales.

They could look to offload several key players in the summer transfer window.

Academy star Jarrod Bowen has been a consistent performer, but his future at the club has been thrown into doubt after relegation.

Mateus Fernandes was a shining light in a dismal season for the Irons.

The 21-year-old featured in 35 Premier League games, bagging three goals and four assists in the process.

Fernandes will likely leave, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain all interested in signing him.

United are monitoring El Hadji Malick Diouf, while Crysencio Summerville will also has no shortage of suitors.

Meanwhile, Tomas Soucek, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jean-Clair Todibo could all look to exit the London club this summer.
