The spectroscopy of the unstable {sup 8}He and unbound {sup 7}He nuclei is investigated via the p({sup 8}He, d) transfer reaction with a 15.7A MeV {sup 8}He beam from the SPIRAL facility. The emitted deuterons were detected by the telescope array MUST. The results are analyzed within the coupled-channels Born approximation framework, and a spectroscopic factor C{sup 2}S=4.4{+-}1.3 for neutron pickup to the {sup 7}He{sub g.s.} is deduced. This value is consistent with a full p3/2 subshell for {sup 8}He. Tentative evidence for the first excited state of {sup 7}He is found at E{sup *}=0.9{+-}0.5 MeV (width {gamma}=1.0{+-}0.9 MeV). The second one is observed at a position compatible with previous measurements, E{sup *}=2.9{+-}0.1 MeV. Both are in agreement with previous separate measurements. The reproduction of the first excited state below 1 MeV would be a challenge for the most sophisticated nuclear theories.
