Graham Potter is set to oversee a squad overhaul at West Ham this summer.
The Hammers are restricted by PSR meaning that they will have to sell to buy in the transfer window.
This has seen multiple stars linked away from the London club, with Lucas Paqueta rumoured to be moving back to Brazil.
However, departures may not stop there as Potter looks to raise funds for the transfer window.

West Ham to consider straight-cash offers for Kudus
Mohammed Kudus’ future at West Ham is unclear.
MORE WEST HAM STORIES
Chelsea are believed to be interested in Kudus this summer as they look to improve their attacking options.
However, the winger did not impress in the 2024/25 campaign and only netted five Premier League goals.
Nevertheless, West Ham have reportedly rejected a multi-player package deal for Kudus from Chelsea.
Now, the Mirror, page 58 (6 June) claims that the Hammers will still consider the sale of the winger.
Kudus, who has a £85 million release clause to Premier League sides, is regarded as one of the London club’s best players internally.
However, the report claims that David Sullivan would consider a straight-cash offer for the Ghanaian international.

Sullivan needs to be realistic with Kudus offers
If Sullivan is hoping that someone will pay the £85 million release clause for Kudus, then he is going to be waiting a long time.
After this season’s performance, the winger is looking more like a one-season wonder after he struggled to make an impact in the Premier League.
This, combined with the Hammers’ relegation fears, will have dramatically reduced Kudus’ value.
Realistically, if Sullivan receives a bid for around £60 million for the 24-year-old, West Ham have to accept.
It is too much of a risk to hold onto such an expensive asset when he could easily flop once again next season and see his value plummet further.
Hopefully, a substantial bid comes in for the Ghanaian international to allow the London club more freedom in the transfer market.
