Four more set for West Ham exits after Niclas Fullkrug and Luis Guilherme
Luis Guilherme and Niclas Fullkrug have finally ended their West Ham nightmares.
Guilherme has not hit the heights expected of him since joining West Ham, playing just 18 times and failing to register a goal contribution.
The Brazilian winger is set to join Sporting, after a £15million fee was agreed with the Hammers, per Fabrizio Romano on 1 January.
Meanwhile, Fullkrug has hit just three goals in 29 matches, has joined AC Milan on loan, with an option to make the deal permanent.
However, they may not be the only stars to depart the London Stadium this month.
George Earthy and three other West Ham stars lined up for exits
West Ham likely need to make sales after adding two new attackers, Pablo and Taty Castellanos, for a total of approximately £42m.
A report from The Guardian on 2 January claims that George Earthy, James Ward-Prowse, Callum Marshall and Guido Rodríguez could leave.
| Player | Appearances this season |
| George Earthy | 0 |
| James Ward-Prowse | 5 |
| Callum Marshall | 2 |
| Guido Rodriguez | 5 |
It does not state whether they would be permanent or loan exits, just that they may depart this month.

West Ham fans will be gutted if Earthy leaves permanently
The report does not state what type of exits that each player could be, so Earthy could be a permanent exit.
That would leave Hammers supporters devastated, as he is one of their own, an academy product that has made his way into the first-team squad, and embodies the ‘West Ham way’.
They will hope that it is a loan exit, to help him back to full form after a tough spell with injuries, and not a sale, as that would be difficult to take.
Ward-Prowse has not been in Nuno Espirito Santo‘s plans, so the idea that he is surplus to requirements is not exactly unexpected.
Rodriguez has not pulled up any trees since moving to E20, so an exit for the Argentine midfielder makes sense.
Meanwhile, Marshall is a promising young striker, but he has not been afforded many chances by Nuno, so it seems like it will be a loan exit for the Northern Irishman, to help him gain senior experience.
