I can confirm Andy Carroll and Adrian will leave the Club on the 30th June. They have combined to provide 13 seasons of service, playing 292 first-team matches between them and providing some of the most memorable moments in recent Hammers history.

OPINION
It wasn’t anything unexpected when these two names were announced to be leaving the club later this summer, after only registering 19 appearances in all competitions between them this season, however that doesn’t mean that it was an easy decision to make for the Hammers’ owner. The duo have been fabulous servants of the club in recent years, but it’s safe to say that their time has rightly come to an end at the club, after failing to make an impact on the first team last season. For the Hammers’ fans however, it is refreshing to see that the owner is showing some compassion to the pair amid their eventual exit, and they will both no doubt find another club to play for should they be looking to continue playing at a top level. It has never really worked out at the London Stadium for the two, particularly Carroll, who has in truth been plagued with injuries since his arrival from Liverpool in 2013. Gold will be looking for their replacements as we speak, and speaking with Manuel Pellegrini about the potential in-comings this transfer window.
