# Five players likely to leave West Ham this summer

You can’t just have an endless stream of in-comings every transfer window – the world doesn’t work like that. Some players will just have to leave, regardless of whether we want them to or not.

This summer is no different to every other. If we’re going to spend £50-60m on new players then the outlay will need to be offset by a departure or two.

Slaven Bilic hasn’t got much wrong in his solitary year in charge of West Ham. Europa League berth. Numerous club records set. Most importantly, reinvigorated a dormant fanbase.

He needs another strong summer to cement himself as one of the leagues best managers, and to do so you need to find the perfect balance within your squad.

Players will leave this summer. Who? That remains another question, but we’ve picked out the five most likely candidates that won’t play at the Olympic Stadium next season.

At least not for the home team, anyway.
