One score and five

West Ham United have announced their final squad for the the 2010/11 Premier League campaign.

With the transfer deadline passing at 6pm last night the Hammers managed to make just two final day captures - right-back Lars Jacobsen on loan from Blackburn and the wonderfully named Ruud Boffin, who has signed a two-year contract as understudy to Rob Green.

That leaves the club's final 25-man squad for the season as follows (squad numbers in brackets):

Goalkeepers: Rob Green (1), Ruud Boffin (tbc).

Defenders: Winston Reid (2), Tal Ben Haim (3), Danny Gabbidon (4), Matthew Upson (15), Jonathan Spector (18), Manuel Da Costa (22), Herita Ilunga (23), Lars Jacobsen (tbc).

Midfielders: Kieron Dyer (7), Scott Parker (8), Jack Collison (10), Thomas Hitzlsperger (11), Luis Boa Morte (13), Radoslav Kovac (14), Mark Noble (16), Julien Faubert (20), Valon Behrami (21).

Forwards: Carlton Cole (9), Pablo Barrera (12), Benni McCarthy (17), Zavon Hines (26), Frederic Piquionne (30), Victor Obinna(tbc).

The new Premier League rules insist that each squad must contain a minimum of eight players who are considered to be 'home grown' - ie players who have trained in England for three years prior to their 21st birthdays.

The first test for Avram Grant's new-look squad - which contains ten players who qualify under the 'home-grown' criteria - comes against current Premier League champions Chelsea at the Boleyn a week Saturday.
