WEST HAM have announced that five first-team stars are leaving and provided an update on Michail Antonio.
The Hammers confirmed last month that Aaron Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal and Danny Ings would all depart when their contract expire on June 30.
West Ham have now added Kurt Zouma to that list and he will become a free agent.
Antonio, who broke his leg in a car crash in December, faces an uncertain future.
The club said in a statement: “There will be no formal decision and announcement on his future until such time that it is considered right and appropriate.
“However, as his current contract is also due to expire on 30 June, for the purposes of the Premier League Retained List procedure at the end of the 2024/25 season, Michail will be listed as a free transfer.”
Reports suggest that West Ham and Antonio have held talks over an extension but they are no closer to an agreement.
The 35-year-old striker posted a montage video on social media yesterday that showed him in rehab and learning to walk again.
Antonio remains in recovery after crashing his £260,000 Ferrari in Essex and being airlifted to hospital.
