Stop the press! West Ham United, the legendary London club, has spilled the beans—it's saying goodbye to four European champions next season. The departure of Aaron Cresswell, Lukas Fabianski, Vladimir Coufal, and Danny Ings will no doubt leave a void in the team's lineup.
In an official statement released this Friday, the Hammers expressed their gratitude to these athletic powerhouses for their contributions during their tenure, which brought about some unforgettable moments of success. The club's farewell statement read,
"As the season winds down, we'll take time to honor the careers and accomplishments of these outstanding individuals who have proudly represented West Ham United. Our final home game against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on May 18 will serve as the perfect venue for a heartfelt sendoff."
These four exceptional players made invaluable contributions to the club's historic win in the UEFA Europa Conference League during the 2022/23 season, a season they remained undefeated in the competition.
Worth a mention here are the individual achievements of these players:

- Lukasz Fabianski, the reliable goalkeeper, has spent seven action-packed years with West Ham, showcasing his skills in 215 appearances across all competitions.
- Vladimir Coufal, the indomitable right-back, joined West Ham in 2020 and was a cornerstone player for the club, starting the majority of their league games until this season.
- Danny Ings, the agile striker, moved to West Ham from Aston Villa in January 2023 and has made a significant impact, logging 69 impressive appearances since joining the squad.
