West Ham United are set to sell a sizeable number of players to make room for new additions.

The former coach of Manchester City, Chilean Manuel Pellegrini (L), arrives for the draw of the Copa Sudamericana football tournament, in Santiago, on July 12, 2016.

According to the Telegraph, Manuel Pellegrini is planning a clear out at West Ham United after taking charge earlier this week.

Pellegrini is looking to bring in up to seven new players for the upcoming campaign, with the Chilean keen to improve the quality of his options at the London Stadium.

West Ham’s board have already suggested that the club will spend more money than ever before in the next few months.
