West Ham United have been relegated from the Premier League and the club face a summer of having to sell their prize assets.

The Hammers beat Leeds United 3-0 on the final day but Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 win over Everton kept the North London club in 17th as the Irons were condemned to the Championship.

Three straight defeats prior to their win over Leeds proved detrimental for West Ham, who will return to the second tier for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign.

A tricky summer now lies ahead for the club, with several big names likely to be moved on as the Hammers seek to make up for the financial shortfall that comes with relegation.

According to talkSPORT, the club have racked up debts of over £104million and are now in the position where they could have to sell their biggest stars. The outlet have listed the five players who could now be on their way out of the club.

Jarrod Bowen

The West Ham captain is undoubtedly going to have suitors this summer but he does not appear willing to push for a move.

Speaking after the club’s relegation, he said: “I’m under contract here. There’s going to be rumours, there’s going to be talk, but ultimately what I see is getting this club back in the Premier League, because that’s where they deserve to be.”

However, the Hammers will find a decent offer for the forward hard to resist and a number of clubs are already interested.

Crysencio Summerville

The forward scored five goals and provided four assists in 31 league games this season and is another player that clubs are already ‘circling’ around.

The former Leeds United player signed a five-year contract with West Ham when he joined the club in 2024.

Reports from The Telegraph earlier this month indicated that ‘leading’ Premier League sides were already looking at Summerville with West Ham hoping to turn a profit on the £25m they spent on him in 2024.

The club’s relegation will make it difficult for them to knock back interest in the Dutchman.

Mateus Fernandes

The 21-year-old is another player who is attracting attention from some top clubs.

Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked while Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be keen on the former Southampton player.

He joined West Ham for around £40m last summer but the Daily Mail report the Irons want more than £80m for him just 12 months on.

Konstantinos Mavropanos

The defender was named West Ham Player of the Year and talkSPORT claim he will ‘have his eyes on the exit door’ following relegation.

The 28-year-old former Arsenal player arrived at the London Stadium in 2023 and has another two years to run on his contract at the club.

Axel Disasi

The defender joined West Ham on loan during the January transfer window. He is not set to stick around beyond his temporary spell as he prepares to head back to parent club Chelsea.

According to Foot Mercato, Nuno Espirito Santo had been keen to keep hold of the defender but West Ham’s relegation has ruled out a permanent deal.

West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo looks set to leave the club after their relegation, and two candidates to replace him have now been named.

The Hammers’ relegation was confirmed on Sunday after Tottenham secured a 1-0 victory over Everton.

West Ham managed a 3-0 victory over Leeds on the final day, but it wasn’t enough as they finished two points behind Spurs.

The pressure is now mounting on Nuno, and it remains to be seen whether he is going to be in the job heading into the 2026/2027 season.

There’s a chance the manager could walk before he’s pushed, but either way it looks as though he’ll be leaving the club in the coming weeks.

Two Candidates to Replace Nuno at West Ham

According to journalist Jacob Steinberg, Nuno is expected to leave West Ham following their relegation from the Premier League.

The reliable journalist confirms that former Burnley manager Scott Parker and Strasbourg boss Gary O’Neil are two candidates to replace him.

The report claims that Nuno has been called in for talks around his future, which is likely to end in the Portuguese manager leaving the club.

O’Neil and Parker, who have both played for the club previously, are two managers of interest to the West Ham board as they assess their options heading into the summer.

Problems Run Deeper at West Ham

West Ham are now looking for their fifth manager in just two years if Nuno does leave the club in the coming days or weeks, which is expected.

That shows that the problems, perhaps, run deeper than the manager, and they need to solve things behind the scenes if they want to move forward in the right direction.

Now relegation has been confirmed, work needs to happen behind the scenes for them to turn things around as quickly as possible.

Their recruitment simply hasn’t been good enough, and the upcoming transfer window is a real opportunity for them to rebuild and reset.

Liverpool have opened talks to sign a new German star ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a report from Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.

It could be a busy summer window for the Merseyside club after a disappointing season, which saw them finish fifth in the Premier League.

The Reds qualified for the Champions League, but after winning the title last season, the campaign has to be considered a disappointment as they failed to compete in the race alongside Arsenal and Man City.

Liverpool were busy in the previous summer transfer window, bringing in a host of new additions, but some of them have failed to hit the ground running.

As a result, they need to ensure they are smarter with their recruitment, as they can’t afford another season not competing for the Premier League.

Liverpool Open Transfer Talks

According to a report from Sky Sports reporter Plettenberg, Liverpool have opened talks to sign Kennet Eichhorn ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 16-year-old wonderkid, described as a ‘special’ talent by scout Jacek Kulig, is planning to leave Hertha Berlin in the summer transfer window, and he could move for a fee in the region of £10m due to a release clause.

Despite his age, Eichhorn featured 17 times for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga’s second tier this season.

Patience Required With Eichhorn

There is no doubt that Liverpool fans and the club will have to be patient if they bring a player like Eichhorn to Anfield in the summer transfer window.

The 16-year-old hasn’t been a guaranteed starter for Hertha Berlin in the second tier of Germany, so there is little chance that he can make the step up to the Premier League instantly.

The German youngster is undoubtedly a huge talent with a bright future ahead, but that doesn’t mean Liverpool needs to rush into things with him if they do secure his signature.

​​​​​​​Taking their time and allowing him to develop, even potentially sending him out on loan, is exactly what he needs in order to fulfill his potential.
