West Ham United insider Claret & Hugh has shared a very promising off-field development after the Hammers sealed an historic last 16 Europa League victory over Sevilla on Thursday night.

The Lowdown: Hammers make history...

The Irons enjoyed one of their best nights in recent memory as they clawed back a one-goal first leg deficit to turn the tie on its head, dumping their opponents out of Europe.

Tomas Soucek's first half goal sent David Moyes' men on their way, taking the match to extra-time before a very fitting story took place.

Ukraine international Andriy Yarmolenko scored the winning goal to send West Ham through to the quarter-finals, amid his homeland suffering from Russia's attempted invasion.

'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles' rang around the London Stadium on what was a truly brilliant night for the club and every Irons supporter.

The Latest: Claret & Hugh share more good news...

According to club insider Claret & Hugh, sharing more good news after West Ham's epic night in Europe, the Hammers could now be set for 'bigger and bigger' financial windfalls following the win.

The east London club have already been handed a £1.8m boost after reigning victorious over Julen Lopetegui's side on Thursday, and depending on how far they go, they could earn as much as £7.4m just by reaching the final.

Even getting past Lyon and into the semi-finals would apparently earn the club £2.8m on top of the £1.8m received after beating Sevilla.

The Verdict: Extra incentive?

Moyes' side needed no more incentive to go on an extended European run after midweek, but this financial aspect will play a role in further enhancing the motivations of those upstairs.

While all of this money isn't guaranteed to go into the board's 'coffers', with various West Ham players apparently possessing Europa League participation clauses in their contracts, there is little doubt that GSB will have one eye firmly on the windfalls.

However, whether or not they reinvest that money into backing Moyes remains to be seen.
