THE final verdict on West Ham’s season will be largely dependent on what happens in the final of the European Conference League against Fiorentina on June 7.

Summer couldn’t come soon enough, as the demands of the Hammers’ European campaign noticeably took a toll on their dismal form in the Premier League this season.
