West Ham new boy Havard Nordtveit says he has nothing to prove in England after the former Arsenal youngster made his first appearance for an English club on home soil.

Nearly exactly four years to the day that the Games started, West Ham played their first game in the imaginatively named “London Stadium”. More work is needed, and some of the sightlines might keep local opticians busy, but the overwhelming sensation was of a project that will succeed.
West Ham upped the tempo as they attempted to snuff out Domzale’s fighting spirit, but Winston Reid volleyed over and Feghouli headed over the crossbar as they chased a third.
Cresswell was a key player a year ago in an outstanding season for West Ham, who defied the odds to finish seventh in the Premier League and guarantee European football for this campaign.
They were involved in a Europa League qualifier against NZ Domzale.
“There’s no better way to adjust to a new stadіum than playіng іn іt”.
This comes as West Ham manager Slaven Bilic admitted that his “priority” is to sign a new left-back following the injury that will sideline Aaron Cresswell for four months.
The game came five-and-a-half years after he left London rivals Arsenal for Borussia Monchengladbach having failed to break through under Arsene Wenger.
Kouyate took eight minutes to bag the first goal at the club’s new stadium when he cleverly flicked home Sam Byram’s cross in the return game against Domzale who had won the first leg 2-1.
But according to Mirror Football, the Colombian worldwide is waiting to see whether the Irons progress to the next round of the Europa League before agreeing a transfer to the Olympic Stadium. “We played some good stuff and the crowd could enjoy some of our attractive moves”.
“It was more than I expected, It was loud and there no point comparing it to Upton Park, you can’t”.
We have good players to do that.

Bilic will use £16 million from Sakho’s move to bring the exciting forward who scored 12 goals in the Premier League last season.
