West Ham United have confirmed that five first-team players—Lukasz Fabianski, Aaron Cresswell, Vladimir Coufal, Danny Ings, and Kurt Zouma—will leave the club when their contracts expire on June 30. The Hammers had already announced Fabianski, Cresswell, Coufal, and Ings were departing, with Zouma now added to the list.

Michail Antonio’s future remains uncertain. While his contract also ends on June 30, the club stated that no final decision will be made until the time is “considered right and appropriate.” For Premier League purposes, Antonio will be listed as a free transfer. He is still recovering from a serious leg injury sustained in a car crash in December.

Antonio has made 323 appearances and scored 83 goals for West Ham, playing a key role in their 2023 Conference League triumph. Fabianski made 216 appearances over eight years, while Cresswell spent 11 seasons at the club. Ings struggled with form, scoring just five goals in 69 games.
