West Ham defender Coufal rejects Moyes rumours

West Ham United's players have shut out the noise regarding the club over the past few months.

There has been a lot of criticism of manager David Moyes among a section of supporters.

While Moyes led the team to Europa Conference League glory last season, some supporters are upset at the team's style of play.

“I don't read papers or discussion on Twitter," star Vladimir Coufal said in response to those stories, per The Standard.

“Fans always have some opinions and they have the right to say what they want, but it is up to us on the pitch.

“We shouldn't have it in our heads, so far it is a very good season. We won the Europa League group, we're seventh in the table with 30 points. We've had some bad results but that is football.

“He is doing an excellent job, he won the first trophy for West Ham after almost 50 years. He finished sixth and seventh in the League and now we are in seventh place. The results are behind him. We are not playing the best football sometimes but in terms of the results everything is right."
