Mark Noble believes West Ham need to make changes "on and off the pitch" this summer after a "tough" season.

The Hammers' captain scored on Saturday in their 2-0 win at Leicester to secure Premier League safety, but it has been a difficult season for the club.

After a poor start, Slaven Bilic was sacked as manager in November. New boss David Moyes guided them away from the relegation zone but continued supporter unrest culminated in a pitch invasion protest against Burnley.

The midfielder told the Evening Standard: "There needs to be a lot of change. I would not say no to that, on and off the pitch.

"A lot of stuff needs to change. I am really hoping, and I am convinced it will during the summer.
