Lyon have blamed West Ham for the collapse of their move for Said Benrahma, accusing the Premier League side of a \u201clack of respect\u201d.<\/p>\n

Algerian winger Benrahma, 28, was set to join the French club in a deadline-day loan but the transfer fell through in the final hours.<\/p>\n

Lyon indicated they had submitted all the relevant documents but said the Irons failed to take the required action to make the switch happen.<\/p>\n

A strongly-worded statement said: \u201cOlympique Lyonnais deeply regrets this situation and this decision, demonstrating a profound lack of respect on the part of West Ham towards the institution and the player.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club reserves the right to undertake all appropriate procedures necessary to validate the transaction at a later date, and to hold West Ham responsible if necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benrahma is not the only Hammer whose future remained in the balance after yesterday\u2019s 11pm deadline, with Pablo Fornals\u2019 switch to Real Betis still yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

Kalvin Phillips endured a debut to forget<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

David Moyes says West Ham will \u201cgo gently\u201d with new signing Kalvin Phillips after the debutant\u2019s costly error in their 1-1 draw with Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

The England midfielder\u2019s loan move from Manchester City was one of the most high-profile switches of the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

But just three minutes into his first start last night, the 28-year-old inadvertently set up Dominic Solanke to open the scoring before being rescued in the second half by James Ward-Prowse\u2019s penalty.<\/p>\n

Irons boss Moyes said: \u201cIt\u2019s not a goal we concede too often and it gave them a leg up. Then we had to perform and we weren\u2019t at a level to do that. It wasn\u2019t as good as it should have been.<\/p>\n

\u201cKalvin\u2019s fine, he got best part of 70 minutes in. I said before we might have to go a bit gently with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought as the game went on he was starting to get better, but he was a bit slow at the start and in getting into the way we play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looked as if we had had 10 days off tonight, like we\u2019d had a holiday, the players looked leggy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Enes
Enes Unal sealed a move to Bournemouth on deadline day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Andoni Iraola says deadline-day signing Enes Unal can add a new dimension to Bournemouth\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

The Turkish forward, 26, sealed a move to the Cherries from Getafe yesterday for an undisclosed fee after scoring 36 goals in 109 games for the LaLiga outfit.<\/p>\n

Speaking after his side\u2019s 1-1 draw with West Ham, the Cherries boss told the club\u2019s official site: \u201cHe\u2019s a player that I know well. I\u2019ve played against him a lot in LaLiga.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been successful there, he has been scoring goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think he\u2019s someone who can give us something different up front. His way of playing is very adaptable to the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has had a small experience in England [at Manchester City] that I think will make the transition easier because he speaks the language.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be ready to help us from day one. He wants to come to the Premier League and show everyone his level.\u201d<\/p>\n
