West Ham must sell players in summer after £104m loss

The Story So Far

West Ham United face a challenging summer transfer window following the announcement of a £104.2m loss for the financial year ending in May 2025. This figure represents a significant downturn from the £57.2m profit recorded during the entire previous year. The club’s revenue decreased to £227.6m, a drop attributed to a lower ranking in the league table, reduced television exposure, and a lack of continental football. Additionally, earnings from player departures were lower than before. Consequently, the Hammers must prioritize selling squad members to address a newly projected cash shortage, regardless of whether the club maintains its Premier League status.
