Hammer Manuel Lanzini could be sold this summer to provide additional funds to reshape the manager’s squad,

The 27-year-old has started just two league matches this season and could be available for £15m

The attacking midfielder who has been the subject of interest from Turkey and the Middle East, has made 151 appearances for the Hammers since signing in 2015, scoring 22 goals and making 23 assists.

Bought for £10.8m in 2016 after a year on loan from Al-Jazira the Argentine international has failed to fully recover his form after a serious injury while on World Cup training.

Yarmolenko was bought in the summer of 2018 for £18m from Borussia Dortmund but could be sold for around £7m if reports are to be believed, the 31-year-old will have just 12 months left on his contract in June and has just suffered a serious knee ligament injury which could keep him out for months.

Felipe Anderson who was bought for £36m from Lazio in the same summer of 2018 could be sold for just £17m. He is currently on loan to FC Porto for the season with the Hammers desperate to recoup some of the money they laid out for him during Manuel Pellegrini’s tenure.

Together with the proceeds of the sale of Sebastian Haller for £20m to Ajax, Moyes could have £59m to spend this summer if all valuations were realised and bids accepted.
