Manager David Moyes is also facing an uncertain future, as his contract is set to expire at the end of the season, adding to the speculation surrounding potential exits at the club.
Defenders Nayef Aguerd and Kurt Zouma are rumored to be eyeing moves to Saudi Arabia, while midfielder Lucas Paqueta is reportedly attracting interest from Manchester City. Additionally, players like Angelo Ogbonna and Aaron Cresswell are approaching the end of their contracts with West Ham, signaling possible departures.
One player likely to leave is young defender Ben Johnson, who is said to be in advanced talks with Crystal Palace. Winger Said Benrahma, currently on loan at Lyon, is also expected to make a permanent move to the French club for £12.3 million, as per his contract agreement.
Despite mixed opinions about his performances at West Ham, Benrahma has shown glimpses of his talent and potential. Former player Frank McAvennie praised Moyes for bringing in the Algerian forward, acknowledging his skill and ability. As the summer transfer window approaches, West Ham are preparing for significant changes within their squad.
