A senior West Ham United defender is expected to leave the club this summer after reportedly being informed he has “no future” at the London Stadium under Nuno Espirito Santo.
The centre-back endured a frustrating campaign in east London following the club’s relegation to the Championship, with West Ham finishing 18th despite collecting 39 points — the highest tally by a relegated Premier League side since 2011.
The disappointing season has forced major decisions behind the scenes, with the Hammers now expected to raise significant funds through player sales during the summer window.
While uncertainty continues to surround several first-team players, there has already been clarity over the managerial situation.
Nuno Espirito Santo is set to remain in charge as the club prepares for life in the Championship and attempts to secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
Max Kilman is one of the players expected to depart before the new season begins. According to reports from Claret and Hugh, the former Wolves defender is no longer part of Nuno’s plans and could leave on loan in the coming weeks.

The 27-year-old featured 25 times in all competitions but did not play a single minute in the Premier League after January. His costly mistake in the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Leeds United only added further doubts over his future at the club.
West Ham now hope a temporary move elsewhere can help the defender rediscover his form and increase his market value again.
