Breaking News: West Ham United Top Star Set To Leave West Ham Before Contracts expire

Michail Antonio and Danny Ings, two attackers for West Ham, may depart the team before their present contracts end, sources have told Football Insider.

Senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed on the most recent episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast that the Irons may want to add a new striker as early as January.

When this season ends, Antonio and Ings’ contracts expire, and if they don’t accept a new offer, they will become free agents the following summer.

To make room in the squad, the Irons may try to let go of both players before they get to that stage.

The pay bill would also be reduced if the club permitted either of them to depart during the January transfer window.

Ings and Antonio add to the many unanswered questions surrounding West Ham’s long-term striking options.

West Ham might cut their losses with both men earlier than planned

Since joining the team in 2015, Antonio has made 311 appearances, tallying 40 assists and netting 82 goals.

The 34-year-old, who has started every Irons game this season, has also been a vital component of the team.

However, Danny Ings has only played five minutes of football this season and was left out of the West Ham team for their most recent matchup with Man City.

Since joining the Londoners in 2023, Ings has had difficulty scoring goals; in 53 games, he has only four goals.
