Where Did West Ham's Stars Go? FPL 2026/27

West Ham finished 18th in the 2025/26 Premier League with 39 points — relegated for the first time since 2011/12, ending a 14-year top-flight run. Manager Nuno Espírito Santo (who replaced Graham Potter five games into the season) has agreed to continue into the Championship promotion push. For Fantasy Premier League managers, West Ham's relegation generates more cross-rival FPL relevance than any other 25/26 departure — multiple Hammers stars are confirmed at PL rivals, several more are nailed-on to move this summer.

This page is the live tracker. The "Where did West Ham's stars go?" question is the highest-CTR FPL angle of summer 2026 — and Onside is the place to follow it.

Mohammed Kudus moved to Tottenham from West Ham in summer 2025 for £55m — making him a Spurs FPL asset for the entire 25/26 season and now 26/27. Under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, Kudus is a credible mid-bracket pick at a projected £7.0–8.0m. His role: floating attacking midfielder with goal involvement above 0.55 xGI per 90.

The FPL case: Tottenham finished 17th in 25/26 (mid-table chaos under three different managers) but De Zerbi's possession-based system will lift the attacking output significantly in 26/27. Kudus is the system's most credible engine. The case against: De Zerbi rotation patterns at Brighton historically punished single-attacker FPL bets, and Kudus has not been a consistent 200-point FPL season player.

Paquetá completed a £36.5m move to Flamengo in Brazil on 28 January 2026 — he is no longer in any European league and will not feature in FPL 26/27. Any guide listing him as a Hammers or other PL asset is out of date.

Jarrod Bowen is the highest-profile Hammer in transfer limbo. Sports Illustrated's ranked-destinations piece puts Tottenham at the top of his shortlist, with Newcastle, Aston Villa, and one Saudi-league club also linked. As of 15 June 2026 the move is not confirmed. The FPL implications are material: Bowen scored 18 Premier League goals in 24/25 (24-25 was 169 FPL points) before West Ham's 25/26 collapse dragged his output down.

At Tottenham under De Zerbi: projected £8.0m mid, paired with Kudus = the Spurs attacking core. Watch confirmation in late June.

Mateus Fernandes is West Ham's most-prized asset after Bowen. TeamTalk reports Manchester United in pole position at £80–85m, with Aston Villa and Newcastle also in. This is the prospect that funds West Ham's Championship rebuild — confirmation is expected in the first 10 days of the window. At Man United under Carrick, Fernandes would be the central-midfielder upgrade the squad has been searching for since Pogba. Projected FPL price: £6.5–7.5m as a mid-bracket midfielder with assist upside.

Summerville is reported as a Roma target but multiple PL clubs are also tracking him. If he stays in the PL the most-cited destinations are Brighton and Aston Villa. The FPL case at any of those clubs is mid-bracket only — Summerville's 25/26 numbers (West Ham's least productive season in years) make confident projections difficult.

Confirmed out on free transfers from 30 June: Lukasz Fabianski (no longer FPL-relevant — retiring), Adama Traore (linked to Saudi clubs). Confirmed loan return: Axel Disasi back to Chelsea — a Chelsea defender for 26/27. The Disasi return is the cleanest FPL-relevant note: he is back in Chelsea's back-line at a projected £4.5m as a budget defender pick if he locks down minutes under Xabi Alonso.
