Thilo Kehrer - Starts in EPL finaleKehrer kept five clean sheets and recorded two assists in 27 Premier League appearances (25 starts) this season.

ImpactKehrer got plenty of playing time this season either in central defense or at right-back, but the 26-year-old seemed to be more of a useful cover option along the backline than he was a regular starter when everyone is fit and available. But this was only his first campaign with West Ham after transferring from PSG last summer and he can still develop into a first-choice team selection in the XI next season.

Angelo Ogbonna - Ends season on benchOgbonna was an unused substitute in the EPL finale defeat against Leicester City.

ImpactOgbonna kept four clean sheets in 16 Premier League appearances (13 starts) this season as Nayef Aguerd and Kurt Zouma dealt with a few injuries throughout the campaign. Having just turned 35 years old in May, Ogbonna is now out of contract with West Ham heading into the summer.

Nayef Aguerd - Wins UECL FinalAguerd started and played the full 90 minutes of Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League Final.

ImpactAguerd finishes his first season in West Ham with five clean sheets and two goals in 18 Premier League appearances (17 starts) as well as the UECL trophy after transferring from Rennes last summer. The 27-year-old missed the first few months of the campaign up until the world Cup with an ankle injury, but he should return to start next season as a regular alongside Kurt Zouma in central defense.

Alphonse Areola - Makes three saves in UECL FinalAreola made three save but conceded a goal in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League Final.

ImpactAreola kept 10 clean sheets in 23 appearances across all competitions for West Ham this season, including six shut outs and eight goals allowed across 13 Conference League matches en route to the club's first major trophy since an FA Cup in 1980. The 30-year-old Areola only started two games in the Premier League in this campaign, but he might threaten to take over as the No. 1 next season as Lukasz Fabianski just turned 38 years old this spring.

Lucas Paqueta - Records assist in UECL FinalPaqueta set up Jarrod Bowen's 90th-minute winner in Wednesday's Europa Conference League Final victory against Fiorentina.

ImpactPaqueta did not have the smoothest of transitions into the Premier League after transferring from Lyon last summer as he tallied four goals and three assists in 28 appearances (27 starts) while his side finished 14th in the table. But the 25-year-old attacking midfielder did produce a magical moment with a through ball for Bowen's dramatic winner on Wednesday, giving West Ham its first major trophy since 1980 and its first European title since 1965, which arguably makes up for any shortcomings domestically in this campaign.

Jarrod Bowen - Scores goal in UECL FinalBowen scored the winning goal in the 90th minute of Wednesday's Europa Conference League Final victory against Fiorentina.

ImpactBowen's dramatic winner Wednesday gave his club its first major trophy since 1980, and its first European title since 1965, arguably making up for the disappointing domestic season West Ham suffered through as they finished 14th in the EPL table. The 26-year-old notched six goals and five assists in 38 Premier League appearances (36 starts) on the right wing in this campaign, a significant decrease from his admittedly exceptional figures from last season (12 goals, 10 assists).
