West Ham United ready to sell five fringe players?

Lucas Perez is reportedly among five players who have been made available for transfer by West Ham United.

The Hammers spent in the region of £100m last summer, but Manuel Pellegrini's side can only finish as high as ninth position in the Premier League standings.

Pellegrini has spoken about a desire to qualify for Europe during his reign at the London Stadium, and the London Evening Standard says that the Chilean is ready to make significant changes to his squad.

The report claims that Perez is among the players who will be allowed to leave in the coming months, with the 30-year-old making just four starts since a £4m move from Arsenal.

Sam Byram, Pedro Obiang and Jordan Hugill are also said to feature on the exit list, while West Ham have decided to finally cash in on academy graduate Reece Oxford.
