West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini is planning a clear-out at the London Stadium.

According to the Daily Express, West Ham United are set to have a major clear out in the summer.

Manuel Pellegrini wants to make huge alterations to his squad at the London Stadium, as he looks to cut the numbers down.

West Ham are set to get rid of Samir Nasri, Andy Carroll, Javier Hernandez, Lucas Perez, Sam Byram, Jordan Hugill, Pedro Obiang, Edimilson Fernandes and Adrian in an attempt to cut down their wage bill.

West Ham are unlikely to raise huge money from the sale of any of the aforementioned players, but getting their wages off the books should free Pellegrini up to make additions.

Carroll, Hernandez and Nasri, in particular, are on hefty contracts at West Ham and the London side will save a lot of money when they depart.

West Ham are set to finish in mid-table this season, but Pellegrini has already suggested that he wants to ensure they qualify for Europe next term, which would take a big improvement.
