“West Ham have until 27 February 2018 to respond to the charge.”
A spokesperson for West Ham indicated the club will be responding to the FA charge swiftly.
The breach relates to administrative oversights on the FA’s whereabouts system, for example a player’s address had been registered and the house number digits transposed, and the club will be responding to the FA in due course,” the spokesperson said.
“We would like to make it clear that the breach is a club administrative matter and does not concern any of our players.”
West Ham are 12th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone.
