New West Ham assistant coach Paco Jemez has clarified his touchline spat with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo during the win over Sunderland at the weekend.

Paqueta is said to be keen on the move, but West Ham are adamant he is not for sale, with reports suggesting they rejected a £35million bid for the 28-year-old. On Paqueta, Nuno said he hoped the situation could be solved quickly as he looks to settle on his squad ahead of the second half of the season.

Fulham were demanding £7million for Traore, who is out of contract at the end of the season. But once fellow wideman Samuel Chukwueze returned safely from the Africa Cup Of Nations following Nigeria’s third-placed finish, it paved the way for a deal to be done, after reports emerged that the deal was off last week.
