West Ham United's transfer window has been a frustrating one for supporters.

The Hammers dismal 2025/26 campaign, which resulted in relegation from the Premier League, has had a knock-on effect.

Sales have been sanctioned for Mateus Fernandes, Crysencio Summerville, and Freddie Potts, while incomings have been slow.

Joel Veltman is the only fully new arrival during the window, though Manor Solomon is said to be close to completing his move from Tottenham Hotspur.

Nuno Espirito Santo's primary focus is on getting more bodies through the door at the London Stadium.

But there could be more players on the way out, and West Ham Zone has looked at three players facing an uncertain future at the London Stadium.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been drawing reported interest throughout the transfer window.

The 28-year-old is said to be on the radar of Everton, while Arsenal have also been keeping tabs on the situation.

It feels like increasingly likely that Wan-Bissaka will push for the exit door in the final weeks of the season, especially given he did not feature against Portsmouth in the EFL Cup on Saturday.

West Ham have proven this summer they will only sell if the deal makes sense, but it is looking increasingly likely he will depart.

Everything Nuno said on Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jean-Clair Todibo amid West Ham exit latest

Jean-Clair Todibo

Honestly, it would be a big shock to see Jean-Clair Todibo still at the club come the end of the window.

The 26-year-old reportedly fell out with Nuno last season, and found himself out of the team.

Like Wan-Bissaka, Todibo was not involved against Portsmouth at the weekend and it is hard to imagine him working his way back into favour.

Marseille had been linked earlier in the transfer window, while more recently Serie A clubs AC Milan and Napoli have been linked with a move.

Edson Alvarez

Mexico midfielder Edson Alvarez spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce, and continues to be linked with another exit.

It was reported he had held talks with LaLiga outfit Real Sociedad over a transfer to Spain, while other clubs in Turkey have reportedly shown interest.

However, Alvarez, 28, was involved in the win against Portsmouth, though he picked up a niggle in the game.

Still, the fact he was utilised against Pompey suggests may a departure is not as clear cut as first thought.
