West Ham Lists Seven Players for Transfer, Including Max Kilman

West Ham face a significant summer of squad reshaping after revealing heavy financial losses. The club reported a £104m loss and owes £196m in transfer instalments.

Financial pressure behind player sales

Owners have made selling players part of the recovery plan. The deficit and instalment debt make departures likely.

Targets named for the transfer window

Filmogaz.com’s reporter Roshane Thomas says the club has identified seven players for departure. The list includes Max Kilman and other senior squad members.

• Max Kilman

  Signed for around £40m two summers ago, Kilman now looks surplus to requirements. He is under contract until 2031, but a summer transfer is seen as best.

  Sources mention Crystal Palace interest. Kilman’s recent form and limited opportunities have hurt his standing under Nuno.

• Alphonse Areola

  Areola has lost the number one shirt this season. He is one of the club’s highest earners on about £120k per week.

  The wage bill makes a summer exit plausible, according to club sources.

• James Ward-Prowse

  Ward-Prowse is currently on loan at Burnley. He is expected to leave permanently in the summer.

  That could change if West Ham are relegated or a new manager wants to retain him.

• Edson Álvarez

  Álvarez spent the season on loan at Fenerbahçe. Nuno chose not to recall him in January.

  Filmogaz.com reports the Mexico midfielder is likely to be moved on this summer.

• Maxwel Cornet

  Cornet arrived for around £17.5m but has failed to make a lasting impact. He is on loan at Genoa, with only ten appearances.

  Finding a buyer has proved difficult, though the club plans to sell if possible.

• Callum Wilson

  Wilson was linked with an exit in January but stayed after owner intervention. He signed a one-year extension in February.

  Despite that, club sources indicate a summer departure is likely for the 34-year-old striker.

• Niclas Füllkrug

  Füllkrug cost about £26m and struggled on loan at AC Milan. Milan are unlikely to trigger a £5m purchase option.

  With two years left on his deal, West Ham intend to sell, accepting a sizable loss.

Wider transfer landscape

Beyond the seven named, several standouts will attract attention if West Ham face relegation. Names linked with potential interest include Crysencio Summerville, Mateus Fernandes, Jarrod Bowen, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and El Hadji Malick Diouf.

Remaining in the Premier League will be crucial to retaining those players and maximising their market value.
