West Ham United striker Sebastien Haller is the latest footballer to take part in a ‘stay at home challenge’. Footage emerged of the 25-year-old on Twitter doing kick-ups with a toilet roll before volleying it into a basket.
Here is how some of the club’s supporters have reacted the video clip.
It just goes to show all he needs is good service

What do we think?
Judging by the responses, many of these West Ham United fans have grown frustrated by Sebastien Haller’s goal return this season. The 25-year-old, who was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer for a reported £36m, has scored seven goals and provided two assists in his 27 Premier League appearances.
Was Sebastien Haller a waste of money?
No
West Ham currently find themselves hovering dangerously above the relegation zone and have only managed to score 35 goals in their league fixtures. Therefore, these fans will be hoping the £40.5m-rated Frenchman can rediscover the form he showed in the Bundesliga during the 2018/19 campaign when he scored 15 goals in 29 games.
