Premier League clubs approve changes to associated party transaction rules
The proposed changes came into play after an independent tribunal found some aspects of the APT rules to be unlawful following Manchester City’s lawsuit.
Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, who has become something of an Instagram sensation, has become a West Ham player and the way the Hammers announced his signing has become a rage on social media.

Evra, who had been a free agent after having his contract at Marseille terminated for kicking a fan earlier in the season, has joined the capital club on a short-term contract which expires in June 2018.

The 34-year-old left-back was a cult figure at Old Trafford during his time with the Red Devils and uploads a video every Monday on Instagram, in which he’s usually seen dancing or singing (or both) and ends it with his trademark ‘I love this game!’
A serial winner with the likes of United, Juventus and AS Monaco, Evra has lifted nearly every trophy possible in club competition and even captained the French national team for a brief period.

The Hammers are managed by former Manchester United boss David Moyes, who took over the reigns mid-season after Slaven Bilic was sacked with the club in the drop zone.
Since Moyes took over, there has been a remarkable upturn in fortunes as the West London club are now in 12th place.

West Ham’s next Premier League clash is a home one with Watford on Saturday and Evra is expected to be available for selection.
The veteran will compete for a starting sport with Aaron Cresswell on the left flank and it remains to be seen who will get the nod for the tie with the Hornets.
