Champions League bonus to be split among West Ham players

West Ham United's playing squad will reportedly split a £7million bonus if they manage to qualify for the Champions League this season.

The Hammers currently sit in fifth place on the Premier League ladder, just one point behind fourth-placed Manchester City.

The Daily Mirror is reporting a top-four finish would net a £21million windfall for the club, effectively doubling each player's end of season bonus.

It is understood the club's hierarchy budgeted for a Europa League spot at best this season, but West Ham's performances under Slaven Bilic this campaign has the playing group set for a lucrative pay day.

West Ham have won three consecutive matches and would be eager to finish their final season at Upton Park with a bang.
