West Ham boss Moyes: I want to create new legends here

West Ham boss David Moyes wants to create new legends for the club with this current team.

The Hammers must overturn a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Eintracht Frankfurt tonight to reach the Europa League final.

Moyes said, "I'm trying to give a 'new West Ham' because I want people to see a new young team. Jarrod Bowen and Declan Rice are new, young, up-and-coming, huge players who the new young supporters at West Ham can get a jersey and support them. They're the future for West Ham.

"As we all know, there were greats like Sir Trevor (Brooking) - all the people of the past who all the older generations talk about. So I'm really hoping that this new generation of supporters will be talking about the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Declan Rice for games like this.

"To be in a semi-final here with West Ham is huge for us as a football club. I've got a great group of players - a group of players who have resilience, character and all those things that go with it. It wasn't too long ago we were fighting relegation. It's been a great climb and I see no reason that shouldn't continue."
