Bilic and Amalfitano’s training ground feud is resolved – but he’s still set to leave

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic and player Morgan Amalfitano are now at rest after they cleared the air following a widely broadcasted feud.

The two men were caught up in a training ground bust-up where the former French international gave Bilic ‘attitude’ and as a result, was banished from all first-team activities and sent to train with the academy.

However, according to Sport Witness who quote French source L’Equipe, the two have now sorted out their issue after they exchanged texts earlier in the week, but it’s still very likely that Amalfitano will leave the club.

Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne remain ‘very interested’ in signing the 30-year-old midfielder this summer on a season-long loan deal, but would require West Ham to cover some of his £40,000-a-week wages to seal the deal.

Championship sides QPR and Hull City are also keen on loan deal for Amalfitano, if he is willing to drop a division and are happy to meet his wage demands in full.

Two permanent transfer options remain in play, as Aston Villa and West Brom are said to be interested in signing the winger. The Baggies may have the lead in this race as they first brought him to English football on loan from Marseille two years ago.

Amalfitano only signed a new two-year deal with the club at the end of last season, but should any of Aston Villa, West Brom, QPR, Hull or Saint-Etienne firm up their interest, he could be on the move.
