Hammers to breach financial fair play rules
A club source told Claret and Hugh exclusively this morning that unless West Ham sells this summer, they would violate the Premier League’s financial fair play regulations.
Graham Potter will therefore have to sell before he can acquire any players because there won’t be any money left over for summer transfers.
With merit awards of up to £3.1 million each position, the Hammers budget for an eighth-place result; if they place 17th, their budget will be cut by £27.5 million.
Last season, West Ham made 20 appearances on the box, earning an extra £18.5 million, but
According to the same club source, the Hammers’ avoidance of relegation has now triggered the necessity to purchase Jean Clair Todibo.
In addition to avoiding relegation from the top division, the defender loan from Nice came with a straightforward five Premier League appearance clause.
According to reports, the entire figure, including agent fees, is £39 million, and it must be obtained this summer.

West Ham have to take PSR into account ahead of the summer transfer window at the London Stadium.
Julen Lopetegui added several players to his team before being fired, so the Hammers had a busy window before the current season.
West Ham must make summer sale for PSR
It now seems that a sale will be necessary before any signings can be completed in the next window, notwithstanding this prior outlay.
A representative for the Hammers’ owners has made this suggestion, saying that while players may depart, Bowen will not be one of them.
In an interview with Hammers News on April 28, they stated: “Like many other teams, we do have to sell in order to buy because of PSR. Let me be quite clear about this. Jarrod is not for sale and is bound by a lengthy contract.
This comes after it was reported by Catch Offside on April 27 that Liverpool and Tottenham were both planning to bid £50 million for the England international.
Bowen set to stay at West Ham
Even though his teammates haven’t helped him, the 28-year-old has undoubtedly been the most impressive player at the London Stadium once again.
Having scored nine goals and provided seven assists, the dynamic attacker is by far the most productive player in claret and blue.
| Name | Goal involvements |
| Jarrod Bowen | 16 |
| Tomas Soucek | 9 |
| Mohammed Kudus | 6 |
Because of this, losing Bowen might be disastrous, particularly for a club like Spurs who have had a dismal season themselves.
Although it is encouraging to learn that there are no plans to sell the skipper, it could be terrible news for Niclas Fullkrug and others in the future.
