After two expensive transfer windows the club is currently facing an issue with financial fair play (FFP) as they approach the summer, as revealed by the Express & Star this week.

Lopetegui said last week that he was due a meeting with chairman Jeff Shi, as he called for investment in the team, and the head coach has now revealed he was not made aware of the financial issues when he joined the club.

“I have had that meeting and I know now that there are some financial fair play problems that I didn’t know before,” Lopetegui said.

“Now I hope we will solve this issue because it’s very difficult to compete in the Premier League without investment. Despite the club investing this year it has been a very hard year so we have to learn the lesson and to be able to to do our homework and try to improve the team.”
