[West Ham](https://www.claretandhugh.info/irons-midfielder-could-be-lining-up-against-west-ham-come-august/) should earn several million in profit from their participation in the Premier League Summer Series in the US.
Clubs like Manchester United, with a bigger US fan base, are usually offered $10m to compete, but other clubs would probably get half that, so around £3.7m for the other clubs in the tournament. Out of that will probably come expenses such as flights, hotel and food, but they likely get all clubs will get a percentage of the gate money too.
The Hammers will join AFC Bournemouth, Everton and Manchester United for a four-team pre-season tournament, with double-header fixtures to be played in New Jersey, Chicago and Atlanta.
West Ham’s Summer Series kicks off against Manchester United at the 82,500-capacity MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Saturday 26 July – the venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.
