West Ham release Fabianski and Traore

Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and winger Adama Traore will leave West Ham United on free transfers at the end of the season. Fabianski, who is 41, first joined the Hammers in 2018 and has played 216 games for the club, helping them to the UEFA Europa Conference League title in 2023. Meanwhile, Traore, who is 30, has made 12 appearances after joining from Fulham in January. Neither was offered a new contract, following the club's relegation from the Premier League. Players from the development squad such as Michael Forbes, Junior Robinson, Tyron Akpata, Daniel Rigge, David Chigwada and Tom Wooster have also been released, along with academy scholar Jonathan Unwin.
