Wes Foderingham - Heading to West Ham Foderingham has signed a two-year contract with West Ham after being at Sheffield United the last four seasons.

Impact Foderingham remains in the Premier League with West Ham where he'll likely be the backup to Alphonse Areola. This likely means the end of Lukasz Fabianski, who moved to a backup role last season. Foderingham made 29 starts this past season, keeping just one clean sheet behind a shaky back line for the worst team in the league.

Impact Alvarez had a sour start to his Copa America campaign, as he was forced off the field in the first half with pain in his hamstring and is now holding an injury. This is a brutal concern for Mexico, as he is set to be one of their better players this tournament and their engine man in the midfield. He will now look for good results after undergoing testing and scans, with the player just hoping he can return to Mexico's Copa America campaign.

Vladimir Coufal - Supplies assist in loss Coufal assisted once to go with five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat versus Portugal.

Impact Coufal deftly assisted the lone Czechia goal Tuesday during their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Portugal. In addition to his offensive production, Coufal contributed three tackles (two won), two interceptions, seven clearances and three blocks to Czechia's all-out defensive effort. The West Ham United fullback registered seven assists over 36 starting appearances during the 2023 - 2024 Premier League season.

Tomas Soucek - Knee injury is nothing serious Soucek suffered a minor knee injury against Portugal during the loss Tuesday. According to assistant manager Jaroslav Kostl, "TomaA? has had some discomfort in his knee for a long...

Impact Soucek dealt with some knee pain following the loss to Portugal on Tuesday after playing the entire 90 minutes. The good news is it is not something that will keep him out, however it is something to look out for as he has been dealing with the same injury for some time now. The midfielder produced three interceptions and two clearances and will be in line to get the start again in the defensive midfield against Georgia on Saturday.

Lukasz Fabianski - Serves as backup Fabianski appeared in 10 games (seven starts), registering 33 saves, 21 goals allowed and one clean sheet.

Impact Fabianski saw a huge drop in minutes, as he was related to the backup goalie behind Alphonse Areola, only seeing time when he was injured. This is a tough development for the goalie who has served as the Hammer's starter since 2018. The 39-year-old is still on contract for a further season, likely serving as a backup once again before possibly hanging up the boots due to age.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Johnson - Mainly serves off bench Johnson appeared in 14 games (four starts), registering five interceptions, 11 tackles, 13 clearances and 31 crosses.

Impact Johnson remained in a rotational role this campaign, much like the last, as he didn't see much time, and when he did, it was off the bench. He continues to see less time after getting his most starts in the 2021/22 campaign with 16, leading many to believe he could be on his way out. However, the club and player are currently in talks of a contract extension.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Ends season on injury list Aguerd started and appeared in 21 games, registering one goal on 14 shots to go along with 17 interceptions, 26 tackles and 80 clearances.

Impact Aguerd was set to be a regular starter for the club this season, as he only missed four starts when fit, but was heavily limited due to injuries after missing 14 contests with complications. He still has a couple of years left on his contract but could be on his way out this summer, as Rennes and Lyon are set to bid for the defender.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Konstantinos Mavropanos - Completes first season as Hammer Mavropanos appeared in 19 games (16 starts), registering one goal on 12 shots to go along with 23 interceptions, 28 tackles and 78 clearances.

Impact Mavropanos battled an injury to end the season and saw himself in a rotational role to begin the season, but still shaped out 16 starts in his first campaign with the club. He was solid in the defense despite a slightly limited role, being a decent option to start or appear off the bench. He will now move into the 2024/25 campaign, hoping to have earned a starting spot for the whole season.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Kurt Zouma - Another season as a regular starter Zouma appeared in 33 games (32 starts), registering three goals on 16 shots to go along with 13 tackles, 29 interceptions and 158 clearances.

Impact Zouma started the season in and out of the starting XI due to injury complications but wasted no time getting his season on track once healthy, as he would maintain a starting role all season. It was one of his better seasons, as his three goals were the most since the 2020/21 campaign, and his 158 clearances were his best since the 2017/18 season. He has one year left on his contract and will likely remain a hammer, although there were rumors of a possible transfer at the beginning of the campaign.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Edson Alvarez - Serves well as holding-midfielder Alvarez appeared in 31 games (28 starts), registering one goal on 17 shots and one assist on 12 chances created.

Impact Alvarez was brought in to act as a holding-midfielder in the highly defensive tactics of David Moyes, and that was exactly what he did, not being all that great in the attack with his two-goal contributions but providing greatly in the defense with his 42 interceptions, 70 clearances and 80 tackles. This was his first season with the club, and he has four years remaining on his contract despite rumors of a possible move this summer, though it could happen if interested clubs meet West Ham's demands after a disappointing year.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Paqueta - Mainstay in midfield Paqueta started and appeared in 31 games, registering four goals on 42 shots and six assists on 43 chances created to go along with 71 tackles.

Impact Paqueta had another solid season for the Hammers in his second campaign with the club, notching his first double-digit goal contribution tally in the Premier League. He also provided in the defense, serving as a decent two-way player after registering 21 interceptions, 25 clearances and 71 tackles. The Brazilian has been linked to multiple moves around Europe despite having numerous years left on his contract, with Manchester City being the leading contender. However, this has come to a halt, as he has been accused of breaching FA betting rules and is currently facing a possible lifetime ban from the league if found guilty.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Ings - Given limited role Ings appeared in 20 games (three starts), registering one goal on 12 shots to go along with four chances created.

Impact Ings saw more appearances this campaign than the last but still saw a drop in time, following suit to previous seasons as the forward starts to get up there in age. His one goal is the least he has scored since 2017/18 with Liverpool. He still has a year left on his contract, likely remaining as a backup option next campaign.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Michail Antonio - Sees consistent time on field Antonio appeared in 26 games (21 starts), registering six goals on 30 shots and two assists on eight chances created to go along with 27 crosses.

Impact Antonio saw a solid chunk of time as a starter this season, pretty much being a mainstay in the starting XI outside of the 14-match spell he spent on the sidelines due to injury. He matched his goal contribution count from last year but still seems to be fading away from his former self, as he registered four straight double-digit goal contribution seasons from 2018 to 2021, although this is likely due to Jarred Bowen's success. His contract is set to run out this summer, but he does have an option for a further year with the club. However, his return is still up in the air as rumors around a move to another Premier League club did arise early in the season.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Cresswell - Signs Hammers extension Cresswell signed a one-year extension to remain with West Ham.

Impact Cresswell will stay at the club another season, likely in his continued depth role where he managed just 432 league minutes this past season. Unless new manager Julen Lopetegui has other plans, Cresswell will probably be in a similar situation with more of his time coming in non-league Cup matches.

JUNE 5 • ROTOWIRE

Mohammed Kudus - Leads league in completed dribbles Kudus appeared in 33 games (27 starts), registering eight goals on 67 shots and six assists on 28 chances created.

Impact Kudus was a regular on the wings for West Ham this season, having a pretty good campaign and likely being the club's best player if it weren't for Jarrod Bowen. Kudus' season was highlighted by his goal contributions, as he registered a new career high in goal contributions, goals and assists in a season. He also led the league in dribbles completed with 124, 37 more than second-place Jeremy Doku. The question moving into next season is where he will end up, as the player appears to be ready for a change, and West Ham doesn't appear to be likely to block a move.

JUNE 3 • ROTOWIRE

Jarrod Bowen - Matches career-high for goals Bowen appeared and started in 34 games, registering 16 goals on 84 shots and six assists on 32 chances created.

Impact Bowen had a career season for the Hammers, as he not only led the club in goals but also matched his career-high for goals in the season with 16, only coming long short of his career-high for goal contributions with 22. He continues to be a decent threat wherever he is located on the field, excelling in the air, from a long distance and even testing his luck with set pieces once in a while. There are reports that Newcastle are interested in the player, but he seems keen on a sixth straight campaign with West Ham.
