West Ham boss David Moyes reveals long-term top 6 plans

West Ham boss David Moyes says their target must be stay in the top six.

The Hammers are sixth heading into Sunday's top-flight match against Aston Villa at the London Stadium, three points behind Arsenal who occupy the fourth and final Champions League spot.

West Ham trail by just a single goal following the first leg of their last-16 Europa League tie away to Sevilla on Thursday night, with the return to come next week.

Moyes' ambition is to make European football a regular feature for West Ham, and said: “I think in truth there has always been a top six in the Premier League and we broke into that standard last year.

“So if we can continue to try to be in there, like a bad smell, hang around, see if we can be there long enough, who knows? Maybe we can do it again.

“We are certainly enjoying our European football at the moment. If it was the Champions League (we qualified for) we'd be thrilled with that, but European football for us at West Ham has been really great this year."
