West Ham United have had a staggeringly successful season so far, fighting for a place in the Champions League next season with Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester.

It's a massive improvement on 2019/20, when they finished 16th in the Premier League, just five points about the relegation zone.

Manager David Moyes is desperate for a strong finish, despite being robbed of two of his key players, Declan Rice and Michail Antonio, for much of the run-in because of injuries.

Who is West Ham United's highest paid player?

Andriy Yarmolenko has the honour of being West Ham's highest earning player - taking over at the top after the club sold forward Sebastien Haller to Ajax in January.

The 25-year-old forward has struggled to find goals, failing to score in the Premier League this season, and has spent time on the sidelines with injury. The Ukraine international, who signed for West Ham in July 2018, gets a weekly salary of £115,000 ($157,620). That's £5,980,000 a year.

Muslim Council of Elders condemns terrorism on religious sites

The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the criminal attacks on religious sites in Britain.

It firmly rejected “acts of terrorism, which constitute a flagrant violation of the sanctity of houses of worship”.

“Attacking places of worship is a form of terrorism and extremism that threatens peace and stability within societies,” it said.

The council also warned against the rise of hate speech, racism, extremism and Islamophobia. It urged the international community to join efforts to promote tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
