West Ham United's players have been told they will be allowed to leave - if they want to - at the end of the season.

The Daily Mail says the squad were told in no uncertain terms that none of them would be allowed to leave in January and that they would be expected to fight to keep the club in the Premier League.

They were also promised that at the end of the season, if any of them wanted out then they would be allowed to go. The new owners will not accommodate unhappy players.
