#4 West Ham’s pain and Stoke’s gain

Mario says no to West Ham

David Moyes must be a frustrated man. For most of the window and its prelude, West Ham have been the most actively named club in the rumour mill after Manchester United. However, they don’t have anything to show for it.

And the one player they could have signed on loan has rejected the chance to do so. According to Sky Sports, Joao Mario has rejected a move to the Hammers even though Inter are happy to let him go.

Meanwhile, Stoke City have announced on their official Twitter that they will complete the signing of Greek defender Kostas Stafylidis on loan in the next 24 hours. The Greece international is a left-back and will arrive from FC Augsburg.
