A club insider has revealed some intriguing possible departure news, setting for an exciting first summer transfer window for West Ham United under new manager Graham Potter.

West Ham players who could leave before next season

Due to numerous contracts that are about to expire, a number of players currently appear to be leaving the London Stadium before the upcoming season.

Currently, players like Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal, Danny Ings, and the injured Michail Antonio will be free to sign with other teams in July unless West Ham choose to negotiate new deals. Carlos Soler is also subject to uncertainty.

Since Evan Ferguson is also expected to return to Brighton when his direct loan arrangement expires in late June, it is unclear at this time if West Ham would exercise the buy-option mechanism in Soler’s loan agreement with PSG.

West Ham also has the option to extend the contract of long-serving veteran goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski by one more year, but he may depart at the end of the current campaign.

The Ghanaian has been frequently linked to a move away from the London Stadium as the summer approaches, and Mohammed Kudus is now West Ham’s most marketable asset if the Hammers want to generate transfer money.

It is thought that Arsenal is very interested in Kudus, but considering the winger’s patchy play, there is no assurance that any other team will try to meet his reported £85 million release clause.

At the same time, there are rumors that Brazil player Lucas Paqueta may leave West Ham due to his involvement in match-fixing accusations.

West Ham could now sell Jean-Clair Todibo this summer

Claret and Hugh, club insiders, claim that defender Jean-Clair Todibo might also be on the firing line, with Potter’s team planning to sell him for a little profit once his loan from Nice becomes permanent.

Todibo is destined to become a permanent member of Potter’s team, and if West Ham avoids relegation, they will have to pay approximately £35 million to acquire the Frenchman at the end of his loan.

However, this might not last long because on Valentine’s Day morning, C&H stated that West Ham might try to sell Todibo for a little profit after making his deal permanent, after information obtained “within the past few hours” from sources.

Due to injuries and a tense rumored relationship with former West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, the 25-year-old has been in and out of the first team this season. Nevertheless, he was considered a great grab last summer, since elite teams were also in the running for his signature.

We do think Todibo might still play a significant part under Potter, though, as the defender has received high appreciation in previous years.

According to his former Nice colleague Aaron Ramsey, Jean-Clair is a highly intriguing character who exudes confidence and is a fantastic guy in the locker room.

He is an extremely gifted athlete with the potential to reach the highest levels of the game. Remaining grounded, aiming higher, and absorbing as much information as possible are all crucial for him.
