West Ham are seeking their first European title in 58 years when they take on Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League final next week.

The Hammers last experienced continental success with their Cup Winners' Cup triumph at Wembley in 1965 but are now one win from glory.

David Moyes' side ended a 47-year wait for a European final after beating Dutch side AZ Alkmaar 3-1 on aggregate.

West Ham fell agonisingly short last season in the final four of the Europa League but now will hope they can avenge that hurt in UEFA's third tier.

Holders Roma won the inaugural Europa Conference League last term and built on its automatic path into UEFA's secondary competition to reach the final of that this campaign, proving how much of a boost lifting this trophy can give to a team.

But Italian outfit Fiorentina will represent a stern test, having also not won a major European title since the 1960's.
