West Ham have announced the departure of 13 players – with Andy Carroll and Adrian among those released.

Samir Nasri and Toni Martinez are also leaving the club along with a host of youngsters.

In a statement, co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold said: “Both Andy and Adrian have provided us and our fellow supporters with some unforgettable moments, whether they were sensational scissor kicks and unstoppable headers in Andy's case, or penalty saves and goals in Adrian's.

“They can both be assured of warm welcomes whenever they return to London Stadium and we wish them, as well as Samir Nasri and the young players whose contracts are up this summer, the very best for their future careers.”

Moses Makasi, Noha Sylvestre, Vashon Neufville, Josh Pask, Mason Barrett, Kevin Dalipi, Jay Mingi and Odysseas Spyridis are the youngsters on their way out.

West Ham outcast Edimilson Fernandes is set to seal an £8million move to Mainz.

The 23-year-old made 29 Serie A appearances in a loan spell with Fiorentina as they narrowly avoided relegation in the 2018/19 season.

He is yet to play under West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini and looks set for a London Stadium exit.

FULL STORY

Declan Rice has dismissed rumours he could leave West Ham.

The 20-year-old midfielder has been a revelation for the Hammers since breaking into the first team last season.

Manchester City were linked with the England starlet last season while United are reportedly tracking him.

“I know that there’s speculation but I signed a five-year contract with West Ham during the season,” Rice said.

“So my focus is fully on playing for West Ham. I’ve got a great connection with the fans; the fans love me and I love them and that’s the way it is at the moment. I’m not thinking about anything else, for sure.”

Reported West Ham target Fernando Llorente is playing his cards close to his chest on his future, but admits that returning to Spain is something he wants to happen at some point.

Tottenham Hotspur have yet to offer a new contract to Llorente that would keep the striker in north London beyond the summer transfer window.

Athletic Bilbao have been considered as a potential destination for Llorente, while there is also interest from Premier League rivals Leicester City.

The 34-year-old admitted that he would love to secure a return to Spain, but also refused to rule out any other switch by insisting he will assess all his options, before making a decision.

“The truth is that I played many years in Spain and I was very happy, and it is clear that I would love [to return someday]”, Llorente was quoted as saying by Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo.

“But we will see the options that come to me and from there I will try to decide what is best for me and my family.”

West Ham United have been linked with Al-Ahli Saudi FC forward Djaniny.

With Andy Carroll, Javier Hernandez and Lucas Perez seemingly set for the exit door, the Hammers need back up for Marko Arnautovic.

According to A Bola, the Cape Verde international has caught the eye of West Ham as well as several other Premier League clubs after a sensational year in the Saudi Pro League, scoring 23 goals and assisting eight in all competitions this season, and Djaniny could be the man to solve the Hammer’s attacking problems.

The 28-year-old forward is hitting the peak of his career after two brilliant years in both the Saudi Arabia and in Mexico with Santos Laguna a season prior, and at 6’2”, Djaniny has the physicality to be a menace in the Premier League.

Yacine Brahimi is still waiting to confirm where he will be playing next season.

The Porto star has dazzled in the Primeira Liga and the Champions League with his silky skills and is currently a free agent.

Real Betis, Everton, Fenerbahce, Olympique Marseille and West Ham are the clubs who have been in touch, but none of them are seen as the perfect destination.

Portuguese newspaper A Bola claim the winger is looking for a ‘golden throne’, but is currently having a hard time to find an offer which suits him.

West Ham midfielder Edimilson Fernandes has agreed terms with Bundesliga side Mainz, according to The Sun.

The national newspaper claim that the 23-year-old midfielder is heading to join the German club in an £8million deal.

The Sun report that Mainz have moved swiftly to secure Fernandes’ signature after he impressed in his 2018/19 campaign on loan at Fiorentina.

It is believed that Fernandes’ exit will pave the way for Manuel Pellegrini to move for a defensive midfielder, with Andre Gomes being his No.1 target.

West Ham United’s new sponsorship deal with Betway is worth over £60m according to industry insiders, with each season worth over £10m per season.

The new six-year deal is the biggest sponsorship deal outside the top six clubs.

Manchester United sit at the top of the Premier League when it comes to shirt sponsorship agreements. In a massive deal with General Motors, United are paid a remarkable £47m per season to wear the Chevrolet logo on their kit.

Manchester City has been sponsored by Abu Dhabi airline Etihad Airways. The deal is reported to be for £45m per year.

Liverpool sponsor Standard Chartered has been with the club since the 2010 season, making it the second-longest shirt sponsor in the club’s history. The deal is worth £160m over four seasons.

Newcastle United are reportedly lining up a deal for West Ham flop Lucas Perez.

The Spaniard arrived at the London Stadium last summer after completing a £4.5million move from London rivals Arsenal.

But despite the initial excitement surround his arrival, the 30-year-old has failed to deliver in the East End.

According to Marca, Rafael Benitez wants to bring the forward to the Toon.

West Ham's short-lived pursuit of Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish is surely over.

On popular Hammers podcast The West Ham Way, Ex WHU Employee mentioned the Hammers were keeping an eye on the 23-year-old.

However, victory over Derby County ensured Villa would be ending their three-year exile form the top-flight.

And, as captain, it seems almost inevitable Grealish will lead the Villans out once again at the start of the season.

West Ham United are being linked with a double move for Premier League duo Xherdan Shaqiri and Fernando Llorente this summer.

Manuel Pellegrini wants to bring in as many as five new players to the East End this summer.

And now two new reports have credited the Chilean with a keen interest in Liverpool playmaker Shaqiri and Tottenham striker Llorente.

Jurgen Klopp is willing to sell Shaqiri this summer as he does not fit his tactical style according to The Metro.

The Sun is also reporting that West Ham want Spurs forward Llorente.

The 34-year-old target man scored eight goals last season but proved increasingly important – and decisive – during Harry Kane’s injury layoffs.

Louie Watson has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The attacking midfielder has been with the Hammers since the age of 12 and has put pen to paper on a deal which will see him try to break into the Premier League 2 side next season.

“It’s a great achievement,” the Republic of Ireland U18 international told the club's official website, “Me and my family are really happy with what I have achieved and now I’ve got it I’ve got to work harder on and off the pitch to get to where I want to be and that’s the Premier League.

“It’s the first contract and hopefully the first of many, so I’ve got to push on. I hope to have a strong season with the 23s next season and ultimately get to the first team.

“It’s all about how you do and how you present yourself on and off the pitch. If you’re being the best you can be every day and do things properly, in training and in games, it will come together in your performances and that’s the main part of it for me, really.”

Pedro Obiang is expected to leave West Ham United this summer in order to make way for Andre Gomes.

The midfielder joined the Hammers in 2015 but has failed to nail down a first team position under Slaven Bilic, David Moyes and now Manuel Pellegrini.

Barcelona star Gomes remains a priority target and, according to reliable insider Ex WHU Employee, Obiang is expected to make way to raise funds.

West Ham want to make as many as FIVE signings this summer, according to reports.

An exclusive report by Football Fancast claims the Hammers need to cash in on a number of players to do so.

A back-up goalkeeper, another defensive midfielder and then improved attacking options are all on the agenda for Manuel Pellegrini.

However, it is claimed the Chilean will have just £30m to spend on summer transfers and will need to make more savvy moves.

Aleksandr Mitrovic, Salomon Rondon and Fabian Delph have already been linked with moves to the London Stadium this summer.

West Ham United are just one of the Premier League sides in the race to sign Manchester City midfielder Fabian Delph.

The midfielder (who can also play at left-back) has been with the Citizens since 2015 and was signed by current Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini.

According to The Sun, City will demand £15million for the midfielder this summer, and there are supposedly a number of Premier League clubs already showing interest.

Football Insider claim that one of these sides is West Ham, and Pellegrini is still a big admirer of the England international.

Director of Football Mario Husillos’ efforts to bolster Manuel Pellegrini’s midfield have potentially been boosted.

German publication Ruhr Nachrichten have linked West Ham with Borussia Dortmund’s out-of-favour creative international Shinji Kagawa.

The 97-cap Japanese ace had been linked with the Irons in April, as well, when it became clear Besiktas would not be able to match the Bundesliga side’s asking price of €12.5million (£11m) to convert his loan into a permanent deal.

Kagawa has now parted ways with the third-place Super Lig finishers, but has no future at the Signal Iduna Park under Lucien Favre either, who only offered him two outings in the Bundesliga before shipping him off to Turkey in the winter.

Premier League fans will remember Kagawa from his short stint with Manchester United.

Barcelona have rejected West Ham's opening offer of £18m for midfielder Andre Gomes.

However, it is understood the LaLiga champions would be willing to do business.

Manuel Pellegrini is a huge admirer of the Portugal international, who shone on loan at Everton last season.

Sky Sports are reporting a bid of £25m is required – a figure unlikely to deter the Hammers.

West Ham have made an offer to Barcelona in the region of £18m for Andre Gomes, according to The Sunday Times.

The 25-year-old Portugal international spent last season on loan at Everton, where he made 27 Premier League appearances.

While the Merseyside club would like to retain Gomes, no preferential option to buy the midfielder was included in last summer’s single-season loan deal.

Everton are set to fight off interest from West Ham to sign Danny Welbeck.

The striker is leaving Arsenal this summer on a free transfer and the Evening Standard report that the Toffees are confident of securing his signature.

Everton are said to be willing to offer Welbeck increase on his current £100,000-a-week salary to make the move to Merseyside

West Ham are set to sign Millwall goalkeeper David Martin, according to reports.

Martin is out of contract at The Den and is yet to agree to new terms on a deal.

According to South London Press, the 33-year-old could be headed to the East End as third-choice keeper.

Everton are showing an interest in Hammers left-back Aaron Cresswell, according to reports.

After bursting onto the scene in 2014 after signing from Ipswich Town, the Scouser went from strength-to-strength.

However, a series of injuries and a loss of form saw Arthur Masuaku finish the season strongly as first choice.

According to Football Insider, Marco Silva is weighing up the possibility of a move.

Lucas Digne is Everton’s first choice left-back and impressed in his debut Premier League season, but Cresswell could go and challenge the Frenchman for his place.

West Ham United are monitoring AC Milan star Franck Kessie, who could be on the move after a fight on the bench with a teammate.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to east London for several seasons now, with Manuel Pellegrini keen to strengthen his engine room.

At just 22, Kessie would be perfect given his expereince of Serie A football.

According to Calciomercato, he has been seemingly pushed to the brink of an exit following an embarrassing and very public fight with teammate Lucas Biglia on the Milan bench during the derby match against Inter back in March.

It is hoped the incident will allow Kessie to move on for a nominal fee.

Adrian and Nathaniel Clyne could well be trading places this summer, with West Ham keen on signing the England international.

Fan favourite Adrian is not expected to sign a new deal in east London this summer and was touted with a return to Spain.

However, it is understood the Reds could make a move as the look for a new back-up goalkeeper with Simon Mignolet expected to ask for a transfer.

According to Goal, the Hammers are keen to bring Clyne to the London Stadium after his promising performances on loan at Bournemouth last season.

The season may be over, but Jack Wilshere is still keen to maintain his fitness after an injury-hit campaign.

Taking to Instagram, the midfielder recorded himself performing a series of shuttle runs and sprinting drills in a local park.

Although the former Arsenal man managed to return before the end of the season, Wilshere found hmself again spending the majority of the campaign on the treatment table.

West Ham United have been told they must pay £30million if they want to sign Aleksandr Mitrovic from Fulham.

The Serb was perhaps the one shining light for the Cottagers from what was a miserable return to the top-flight.

Despite scoring 11 goals, the 24-year-old was unable to stop Fulham sliding back into the Championship.

And OneFootball are now reporting the Hammers will have to splash the cash to land the powerful striker.

Scott Parker wants to rebuild his squad so as to compete in the second tier once again, and a sum of £30million would be hugely beneficial.
