Two more West Ham United players now expected to leave before transfer deadline
One or two more West Ham players are expected to leave the club this summer before the transfer deadline passes, according to Six Foot Two.
The reliable Hammers news outlet, via its Twitter account, reported on Monday (28 August) that the club are working hard to sign their replacement.
The two players expected to leave are understood to be fringe players and not ones that are among the first-team regulars under David Moyes.

Ings out?
The same media outlet reporting this story also claimed that Danny Ings will be one of the players that’s expected to leave this summer.
It remains to be seen who the other fringe players are who’ll be in contention to be shown the exit door before the transfer deadline.
While David Moyes and every other manager would like to have plenty of options to choose from, they’re aware of wage constraints as well.
Having so many players will not be feasible especially if they want to bring in new players with a striker certainly the priority.
Whether or not any wide attackers are targeted remains to be seen but a new number nine has to be the focus in the coming days.
In other West Ham news, the club have now opened advanced talks with a Premier League player who appears to be open to leaving his side this summer.
