These 3 West Ham stars are fighting for their futures at the London Stadium

James Collins

The arrival of Jose Fonte in the January transfer window has relegated centre-back James Collins further down the pecking order at the London Stadium.

The Welsh international has made ten Premier League starts this term, but all but one of those came before the end of November, which clearly indicates that Collins is no longer a feature in Bilic’s defensive plans.

And Fonte’s £8 million move from Southampton last month won’t have helped the 33-year-old’s cause, although he has made a few substitute appearances over the last few weeks.

With his contract up in 18 months’ time, the club could look to offload Collins in the summer, so it’s up to him to prove his worth to Bilic in training and indeed on the pitch over the next few months.
