West Ham Release Adama Traore Following Relegation

West Ham have released winger Adama Traore as part of a nine-player exodus following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

The Irons’ 14-year stay in England’s top tier ended after Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over Everton on the final day sealed their fate.

Despite the drop to the Championship, head coach Nuno Espirito Santo will remain in charge for the upcoming campaign.

The Portuguese manager has already begun overhauling his squad with several notable names heading for the exit door.

Traore and Fabianski among senior exits

Traore departs east London having failed to score in nine underwhelming appearances since his cut-price January arrival from Fulham.

Veteran goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will also leave the club for a second time.

The former Arsenal stopper was lured back to the Hammers mid-season, having previously departed on a free transfer last summer.

French defender Axel Disasi will head back to parent club Chelsea following a successful loan spell.

The centre-back made 17 appearances across all competitions and established himself as a fan favourite alongside Konstantinos Mavropanos.

Six academy prospects will also leave the relegated outfit upon the expiration of their current contracts.

Further high-profile departures are anticipated over the summer months.

Club captain Jarrod Bowen and highly-rated midfielder Mateus Fernandes are already being linked with moves away from the club.
