Ruben Amorim’s flight to meet West Ham was not paid for by London rivals

At present it would appear that Ruben Amorim’s immediate future is well away from current club, Sporting.

The highly-regarded 39-year-old had been linked with Liverpool and potentially taking over from Jurgen Klopp, as well as having flown to London to have talks with West Ham United.

Had the East Londoners landed Amorim he would’ve been quite the upgrade on current incumbent, David Moyes, but in keeping with the usual way that the Hammers do business, it appears that such a move was nothing but a smokescreen.
