The Birmingham club have shown incredible ambition with their recent dealings in the transfer window.
They were led to a top-seven finish by Unai Emery, and in a bid to back the former Sevilla boss, they are said to have beaten a number of competitors for the signing of the Belgian.
The Hammers defeated Fiorentina 2-1 on Wednesday night to win the trophy in Prague, ending a 43-year trophy drought for the club.
The players celebrated their win with a top-of-the-bus parade and partied till Friday but that was not all to celebrate about.
