West Ham Transfer Target Ostracised After Attempting to Force Through Premier League Move

FC Porto striker Moussa Marega has been told that he has to apologise to his teammates for trying to force through a move to West Ham this summer before being considered for selection this season, according to reports in the Portuguese press.

The 27-year-old emerged as a late transfer target for West Ham following his pre-season performances against Everton and Newcastle United, with Porto claiming that it would take a flat £36m fee to prise Marega away from the Estádio do Dragão.

West Ham unsurprisingly turned their nose up at the deal after hearing about Marega's price tag, instead opting to focus their attention elsewhere in the squad.
