With the transfer window done, West Ham may already be looking ahead to next summer and retaining some first team stars.

It's been a thoroughly impressive summer of transfer business for West Ham as Julen Lopetegui settled into life at the London Stadium.

The Hammers have backed their new boss by spending big and making the use of the loan market, with Carlos Soler arriving on Deadline Day.

There's a very long way to go this season but the club may already be turning to focus on contract discussions behind the scenes for first team stars set to depart at the end of the campaign. LondonWorld looks at the seven West Ham stars set to leave as free agents in 2025.

Kurt Zouma -

The former Chelsea and Everton defender has been involved in somewhat of a transfer saga this summer with moves to Saudi Arabia and Dubai both touted but there have been complications with his medical. The 29-year-old signed a four-year contract when arriving from Chelsea in 2021.

Carlos Soler -

The Paris Saint Germain midfielder joined West Ham on a season-long loan deal from France on Deadline Day. It remains to be seen where his future is after the current campaign.

Danny Ings -

Set to be very much a fringe player under Lopetegui, the former Southampton and Burnley talisman signed a two-and-a-half-year deal when arriving from Aston Villa in January 2023.

Vladimir Coufal -

Experienced full-back now faces competition from Aaron Wan-Bissaka for a starting berth that he has made his own since 2020. The 32-year-old had a one-year extension activated by the club this year.

Michail Antonio -

The Jamaica international looks to be trusted by Lopetegui but will be aware of Niclas Fullkrug wanting to make that role his own. Antonio has been with the Hammers since 2015.

Aaron Cresswell -

The 34-year-old is seeing fewer and fewer minutes at West Ham with Emerson preferred at left back. Cresswell signed a one-year extension with West Ham this summer.

The former Arsenal goalkeeper is playing second fiddle to Alphonse Areola these days. The ex Poland international is 39 years old and extended his contract in 2023 to last until 2025.
