Done deal: West Ham attacker quits as permanent transfer agreed
West Ham United have had to deal with a host of departures this summer as they rebuild for the new season.
Mohammed Kudus was sold to Tottenham in what has been the highest-profile sale from the London Stadium.
Elsewhere, Vladimir Coufal, Lukasz Fabianski, and Aaron Cresswell all left West Ham after their contracts expired.
Now, another player has exited the East London club in what is a crucial summer for manager Graham Potter.
West Ham player leaves the London Stadium
West Ham are preparing to face Everton in their next pre-season encounter as part of the 2025 Premier League Summer Series in the United States.
The Hammers lost their most recent match to Manchester United, with Jarrod Bowen on the scoresheet in the 2-1 defeat.
El Hadji Malick Diouf featured in the match as Potter fielded a strong team, which also featured Niclas Fullkrug and Guido Rodriguez.
One player who was not named in the Hammers’ squad was Sean Moore, who has now departed the East London club.
West Ham confirmed Moore’s departure on their Instagram page (27 July), stating that he has joined League of Ireland champions Shelbourne FC on a permanent transfer.

| 46 | 9 | 5 |
The Irons wished the 19-year-old the best of luck for the future after two years in East London.
Moore never made a senior appearance for the Premier League side, but did make 46 appearances for the under-21s.
Now he is to embark on a fresh challenge where he will strive to make an impact in Ireland.
The Hammers must pick up pace in transfer market
With the Premier League season just a few weeks away, West Ham need to make up ground in the transfer market quickly.
The Irons have sprinkled their squad with new additions, but their lineup against United contained just one new signing.
A new goalkeeper and a forward are two positions that the East London club are looking to strengthen.
The Hammers have reportedly agreed on personal terms with Callum Wilson, who is a free agent after leaving Newcastle United.
Elsewhere, Sheffield United shot-stopper Michael Cooper is a target, with the London side making final checks on the goalkeeper.
With a wealth of departures confirmed, West Ham now must make progress in adding talent to Potter’s squad.
