Posted by

After the Round of 16 ties in the Europa Conference League had been settled, Friday saw the draw for the quarter finals and semi-finals.

As usual, UEFA’s Nyon headquarters in Switzerland was the setting, and the sole English representative in the competition, West Ham, fresh from their 10th successive victory to get them to the quarter final stage, were eager to see who their next opponents were.

Anderlecht, AZ Alkmaar, Basel, Nice, Fiorentina, Gent and Lech Poznan were the other teams in the draw and those who stand in the Hammers way of going all the way.
