Haller surgery on cards

Claret and Hugh this morning sends its very best wishes to Sebastien Haller who is to undergo surgery to remove a testicular tumour.

The 28-year-old former Hammer has yet to play for Borussia Dortmund after he left the Irons  for Ajax in the 20/21 season

He wrote on Twitter: ‘As planned from the beginning, different possibilities were considered following the chemo.

‘I tell you that the fight is not over for me. I will have to undergo an operation to permanently end this tumour which keeps me away from the pitch.’

Haller spent 18 months with West Ham after joining in 2019 for a then club-record £45million from Eintracht Frankfurt before being sold for half the [rice for which he was bought.

Haller has scored four goals in 15 appearances for Ivory Coast.
