Midfielder Morgan Amalfitano has left West Ham by mutual consent after falling out with manager Slaven Bilic.

The 30-year-old Frenchman, who left Marseille for similar reasons a year ago before joining the Premier League club, had signed a new two-year contract with the Hammers in March.

He made 28 appearances last season, and four this July in the Europa League.

But he was sent to train with the the youth team in August after angering Bilic and has not played since.
