This is the West Ham XI that can secure a European spot this season

Jose Fonte

Centre-back Jose Fonte made the move from Southampton to East London in January, for a fee believed to be around £8 million.

The Portuguese international, who helped his country win the European Championships last year, was sensational at the heart of the Saints defence for seven years, helping them win back-to-back promotions and then consolidating as a Premier League team.

Yet, he made the move to West Ham last month, and has started solidly if unspectacularly at the London Stadium, playing three league games, yet not keeping a clean sheet in any of them.

Nonetheless, the 33-year-old has proven to be an excellent defender at this level, and one the Hammers can trust to perform solidly throughout the rest of the campaign.
