Former West Ham United defender Nigel Winterburn expects new manager Avram Grant to bring stability to Upton Park.

Now working as a media pundit, Winterburn believes new manager Avram Grant is the right man to improve the club's fortunes.

He told WHUTV: "If you look at what he did when he took over at Chelsea, he got them through to the Champions League final. At Portsmouth, as well, he did a good job under really difficult circumstances.

"If he can get that team spirit that he had at Portsmouth, with all the problems they had, into West Ham, then with the support that he will get here he will be moving in the right direction. Everyone knows football is all about winning and being competitive."
