THE football season is once again upon us. It feels like it has never been away, with the European Championships running for a month from June to July. Managers have changed and the usual market in players has been turning over.

West Ham are one club where there has been substantial change, with a new manager, Julen Lopetegui and eight new signings.

Lopetegui replaces David Moyes, who got the club into European competition three years running, winning the European Conference League in 2023. Big shoes to fill.
