West Ham have confirmed that Aaron Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski, Danny Ings and Vladimir Coufal will leave the club when their contracts expire this summer.

All four players were a part of the Hammers’ Conference League winning squad in 2023 and have made more than 800 appearances for the club between them.

Cresswell, 35, joined the club in 2014 and has played more than 350 times in claret and blue.

Goalkeeper Fabianski joined in 2018, striker Ings has scored just four goals in the Premier League since joining from Aston Villa and right-back Vladimir Coufal has been a regular since coming from Slavia Prague.

“Aaron, Lukasz, Vladimir and Danny have been a pleasure to work with in my time here so far,” said manager Graham Potter.

“They are brilliant professionals on and off the pitch, with fantastic experience in the Premier League, and clearly loved and admired by their team-mates and everyone here at the club.”

No decision has yet been taken on the future of forward Michail Antonio, who is recovering from a serious car crash earlier this season.

The 34-year-old, who will also be out of contract at the end of the season, is desperate to make a playing return and is now taking part in light training with his team-mates.

Potter said: “When we have something to announce we will announce it.

“I think he’s in a unique situation in terms of how he’s recovering from his injuries.”
