West Ham United suffer blow to hopes of signing English champion defender
"The Hammers are without a win in their last 10 league games and seven points adrift of safety following defeat by relegation rivals Nottingham Forest. It teemed down at the London Stadium on Tuesday evening as Morgan Gibbs-White stroked home an 89th-minute penalty to decide the game in the visitors' favour, despite the fact West Ham had taken an early first-half lead."

Since then, he has moved permanently to French club Toulouse, impressing in Ligue 1 as well as for England's Under-21s, with whom he has won back-to-back European Championship titles."
"Nuno Espirito Santo cut a dejected figure at full-time, consoled by his former players on the opposing side, while a bereft Konstantinos Mavropanos was captured by the Sky Sports cameras sat on the match ball in the pouring rain. The central defender has played regularly this season and is approaching 100 appearances for the Hammers in all competitions since arriving in the summer of 2023."
