WEST HAM have been plagued by fan violence in their short tenure at the London Stadium - and someone in their marketing team has further embarrassed the club with a highly visible spelling error.

On a large digital billboard outside the former Olympic stadium, former Olympiacos left-back Arthur Masuaku has been spelled "Aruther Masuaku".

The display is advertising a player signing with Masuaku and right-back Sam Byram at West Ham's Romford store tomorrow afternoon - and you hope the player himself will know how to sign his own name.

Masuaku has admitted that he has found life in the Premier League very tough due to its pace and physicality - and is currently injured with a knee problem.

His left-back rival Aaron Cresswell played tonight as he is not suspended for the EFL Cup after getting sent off in their 1-0 win at Crystal Palace earlier this month.

There have been numerous incidents of crowd trouble at the Hammers’ new home this season, and tonight cops were deployed around the former Olympic Stadium for the first time.

All fans were also urged to arrive early because of extra body searches at the turnstiles, while there was a ban on booze sales around the ground.
