West Ham will have to raise over £100m in player sales if they are relegated from the Premier League | OneFootball

West Ham United are the favourites to become the third relegated team from the Premier League.

Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at Newcastle United means Tottenham Hotspur only need a draw from their next game against Chelsea to confirm their top-flight status for next season.

Even if Spurs lose at Stamford Bridge, the Hammers need to win against Leeds United and hope Everton beat their London rivals on the final day to stay up.

According to The Guardian, West Ham will be under pressure to raise more than £100 million in player sales if they are relegated.

The club incurred a £104.2m loss in their last set of accounts, and their financial issues will increase if they are playing in the Championship.

West Ham are facing the prospect of losing several key stars in the summer transfer window.

Jarrod Bowen has been a loyal servant over the years, but his commitment to the club will be tested.

Mateus Fernandes has emerged as one of the most talented Premier League midfielders after joining the Irons last summer.

The 21-year-old has interest from Manchester United, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.

Man Utd are also monitoring El Hadji Malick Diouf, who recovered from a difficult start to become an important player during the second half of the season.

Crysencio Summerville has a good chance of making it to the Netherlands squad for the 2026 World Cup. He will likely have no shortage of suitors.

Tomas Soucek, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Jean-Clair Todibo could all seek to leave the London Stadium, while Axel Disasi will return to Chelsea at the end of his loan deal.
