Nuno Espirito Santo Concentrates on West Hams Relegation Battle Rather Than His Own Prospects

Reports suggest that West Hams directors intend for Nuno, who agreed to a three year contract upon his appointment in September, to remain in charge even should the team drop into the Championship.

The Hammers currently sit in 18th position, trailing Tottenham by a single point, while Wolves and Burnley have already been demoted.

Come Sunday, they face the formidable challenge of welcoming league leaders Arsenal to their home ground with only three matches left, meaning their fate no longer rests solely in their control.

I will be straightforward with you, I do not spare even a moment to consider next season, the Portuguese manager stated on Friday.

The demands upon us are immense, the challenges are intense, particularly with Sundays match, and that is precisely where our attention must lie.

I lack the energy to ponder what lies beyond. It is about today, then the next day, proceeding one step at a time.

Arsenal approach this fixture buoyed by their midweek victory over Atletico Madrid, securing a place in the Champions League final.

The Gunners hold a five point lead at the summit of the Premier League and have triumphed in their previous two outings at the London Stadium, scoring 11 goals to their hosts two in total.

It poses a real challenge as they possess exceptional quality, Nuno remarked. They form a highly skilled squad pursuing major accolades and realising significant achievements.

Having qualified for the Champions League final while vying for the Premier League crown.

They represent a formidable adversary, yet we play at the London Stadium, which invariably boosts our vitality, and for our group especially, we must pour everything into this effort.

He continued: These concluding fixtures of the campaign invariably carry tension. Anxiety permeates the matches, thus it falls to us to manage our composure and execute our intentions.
