West Ham and Nuno Espírito Santo's club emerge as favorites for immediate promotion back to the Premier League despite concerns over incoming transfer activity.

Among the relegated teams, West Ham and the club managed by Nuno Espírito Santo are considered the strongest candidates for an immediate return to the Premier League. The calm demeanor of Espírito Santo's management style is seen as a significant advantage in their promotion bid.

While both clubs have secured substantial funds through the sales of key players like Crysencio Summerville and Mateus Fernandes, their incoming transfer activity has been described as pedestrian, raising minor concerns about their ability to strengthen sufficiently for a Championship title challenge. michezonews.co.za
