Syndicated reporting provided by Stats Perform and reviewed by the SoccerNews editorial team.

West Ham have announced that both Lukasz Fabianski and Adama Traore will leave the club on free transfers when their contracts expire on June 30.

The decision comes after the Hammers were relegated from the Premier League in 2025-26, with the experienced duo surplus to requirements for next season. 

Fabianski joined West Ham in 2018 from Swansea City and went on to make 216 appearances for the club across all competitions, while also keeping 50 clean sheets. 

During his time at the London Stadium, Fabianski helped the club win the Conference League in 2022-23 against Fiorentina, ending their 58-year wait for a major trophy. 

However, he fell down the pecking order under Nuno Espirito Santo last season, failing to play a single game for West Ham with Mads Hermansen and Alphonse Areola preferred. 

Following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season, the Club has issued it’s Retained List.

Adama, meanwhile, departs after just six months with the club following his January switch from Fulham, where he provided one assist in 12 appearances in all competitions. 

Axel Disasi also returns to Chelsea at the end of his loan spell, having made 17 appearances in the Premier League and FA Cup, scoring against Leeds United in the sixth round.

Development squad players Michael Forbes, Junior Robinson, Tyron Akpata, Daniel Rigge, David Chigwada and Tom Wooster have also been released. 

It looks set to be a busy summer for West Ham, who are expected to see some of their star players depart ahead of their first season in the Championship since 2011-12. 

Mateus Fernandes has been linked with a move to Manchester United and Arsenal, with Crysencio Summerville a reported target for AC Milan, Tottenham and Aston Villa.
