David Moyes has received absolutely brilliant news over his West Ham future after a major overnight development involving target Will Still.

There has been fervent speculation over the future of David Moyes at West Ham beyond this season.

Last month it was claimed that the Scot and head of recruitment Rob Newman are effectively ‘done’ at West Ham.

Majority stakeholder David Sullivan has backed Moyes on several occasions when speaking to Hammers News this season.

But that has not stopped the likes of The Times claiming West Ham will bid Moyes farewell even if he wins the Europa Conference League.

Moyes sounded like a man planning to be at West Ham next season when discussing his summer transfer plans recently.

Speculation continues to swirl over Moyes’ Hammers future

But it is being widely reported that Sullivan is driving the recruitment of a top level director of football having been unhappy with the way transfer funds have been spent in recent windows.

That has only served to intensify speculation Moyes will depart West Ham given his insistence on having control of transfers.

With the Euro final now just five days away, West Ham fans may not have to wait too long to find out whether he will still be around next season.

David Moyes gets absolutely brilliant news over his West Ham future after major overnight development involving target Will Still

West Ham have been linked with a plethora of managers in the last few months. And Still was named on a six-man shortlist drawn up by the club to replace Moyes.

Reims’ West Ham-supporting rookie manager Still has been heavily linked with his boyhood club ever since admitting it is his dream job.

The Hammers nut has been taking Ligue 1 by storm.

But there is good news for Moyes if he does want to remain at West Ham next season.

Because Still has signed a new contract at Reims until 2025 and will be joined at the club by his brother Nicolas next season.

‘West Ham dream won’t be happening any time soon for Still’

“Will Still has ended speculation over his future, signing a deal that ties him to Stade de Reims until 2025,” GFFN reports.

“The Anglo-Belgian manager took over on an interim basis when Óscar García was sacked last October, before taking the role permanently on 30th November 2022.

“Still has previously expressed a desire to manage his boyhood club, West Ham United, but that won’t be happening in the immediate future. He has signed with the Champagne side until 2025, and for next season, he will be joined by his brother Nicolas Still, who will form part of Still’s backroom staff. Samba Diawara and Alberto Escobar will also remain as part of the furniture for the 2023/24 season.”

With Graham Potter being heavily linked to Nice, Xabi Alonso and Vincent Kompany staying with Bayer Leverkusen and Burnley respectively and Ange Postecoglou tipped for Spurs, options are dwindling for the Hammers if they do want change.

And that can only be good news for Moyes, should he wish to remain at the London Stadium.
