West Ham will be under new management next season with a new-look squad likely too.

It's set to be a summer of change at West Ham this season as David Moyes departs the club. Former Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui is set to be announced as his replacement this week.

The Spaniard quit his last post due to transfer disagreements and seems likely to want an influence over the Hammers' squad from the off this summer. The London club's defence is ageing while there is still the matter of finding a Declan Rice replacement after Kalvin Phillips' loan spell failed to reach expectations.

There's also the matter of finding an added goal threat with links to Brentford striker Ivan Toney. Any incomings will, of course, have to be offset with outgoings and LondonWorld looks at the West Ham first team squad to see how each player has done this season and what the future may hold.

Antonio is out of contract this season. The feeling seems to be that the striker could leave as a free agent but Lopetegui is known to have praised the Hammers man in the past. If Antonio is to stay, it would surely be thanks to the former Wolves boss' appointment - any potential arrival of Ivan Toney or a similar player would give Antonio further reason to seek gametime elsewhere.

Scored just one goal in 30 appearances across all competitions this season. His contract has another year to run but he's another who Lopetegui could look to move on to make way for new blood.

Loves West Ham and West Ham loves him. 20 goals in all competitions this season was another phenomenal return from the player who is now appears equally as comfortable through the middle or on the wing.

Had been expected to make his loan move to Olympique Lyon permanent with a £15 million clause in that deal but the French club faces a transfer embargo. That could leave Benrahma having to look elsewhere for a move, but West Ham are clearly willing to cash-in on the star.
