MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast, Wyness thinks the 34-year-old is the type of player Nuno needs in his squad.He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “I don’t know what has happened.

Obviously he’s gained favour with Nuno and he’s performed. “I know he’s done well in a couple of games, but the deal was basically, as we understand it, a pay-per-play.

And so he was paid on results, even though he was quite expensive, but he’s proven that he’s been an asset and has helped them. And I think Callum is the type of player that won’t shirk from anything, and he is exactly the sort of thing that you would need right now in that sort of relegation battle.” Credit: ImagoWest Ham handed takeover warningStefan Borson told Football Insider that West Ham agreeing a takeover deal will not improve the club’s financial situation.If the club are relegated to the Championship, then any new owners at the London Stadium may be limited with what they can do to turn around their financial fortunes.West Ham recorded a loss of £104million in their latest annual accounts, with pressure on David Sullivan and Karren Brady to resign from their roles. ⚒️ Don’t Miss a Beat: Your West Ham Insider Access Get the full story from the London Stadium and Rush Green with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from East London.
