The captain and Mateus Fernandes may already have an eye on the exit doors in East London.Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson discussed the potential outgoings this summer, with the Irons needing to raise £100million in sales should they be playing football in the second tier next term.West Ham stats in 25-26GamesGoalsAssistsCrysencio Summerville3372Jarrod Bowen411011Mateus Fernandes3743“They more or less said as much as that in their accounts that they were going to have to sell players. “The big players, the ones that have got value, the Fernandes and Bowens, as we said, and one or two others that have got value, Summerville, for example, they’re going to want to go.“Then there’s the question of whether £100million is about getting the cash, the £100 million cash in, effectively getting a refund for some of these players, or whether it’s about profit.“Someone like Somerville probably costs £40m, I can’t remember exactly, but let’s say £30m-£40m.

What’s he going to go for? “There’s a little bit of profit, but it’s mainly about actually just getting more cash through the door that will allow the running costs of the club in the season in the championship.”What other problems will West Ham face in the Championship?The main problem that Borson believes the Hammers will face is trying to fill the London Stadium after relegation.

Of course, that would see the club take a further financial hit in the Championship.“They should be able to get straight back, keeping the carcass of whatever has been relegated, plus the wage bill that they’ve got, plus the fact they’ve got a massive stadium,” he told Football Insider. So it’s going to be very challenging, I think, to fill it.
