One team who must be enduring the international break worse than others is West Ham United right now.
With the Hammers still lodged in 17th place in the Premier League at the minute, Irons supporters must simply want to see their side back in action while attempting to clamber up the standings and out of trouble.
While every new stadium takes a period of adjustment, West Ham United have found their transition to London Stadium extremely difficult with so many new factors in play.
Something else that hasn’t helped is the fact that so many of the Hammers’ new summer arrivals have flattered to deceive when their signatures looked impressive on paper.
Integrating new squad members in a new environment has ultimately meant that West Ham United’s season has been disjointed so far and it’s only really Slaven Bilic’s sides’ solid run in the EFL Cup that has brought any optimism.

With that in mind, This Is Futbol have today devised a list of FIVE players who West Ham United need to move on in the New Year.
