His departure saved the club £4.8m in wages

West Ham will have are set to shed over £13 million from their annual wage bill once they have offloaded the players  likely to be surplus to requirements under new manager Manuel Pellegrini.

With Financial Fair Play Regulations again being taken seriously across the game – notably at Paris St Germain – the club are doing a wage balancing operation in order to stay within the limits.

Despite that we understand that discussions are ongoing with the French Ligue One club as the Hammers attempt to arrive at a wage figure with which they can cope in order to bring in Javier Pastore.

He is the one player Pellegrini would love to attract to the club and there are hopes that the Argeninian will trim his wage expectations given the French club are keen for him to find a new club.

Were the Hammers to add  £200,000k a week that would see the midfielder on £9.6 million a year – coming close to cancelling out a stroke the savings the club would have made.

And should they complete the purchase of Felipe Anderson on wages of an understood £80k a week that would take the annual total to just over the £13m they would have saved in outgoings.

The Hammers who have either left or are likely to be on their way are:

O Joe Hart – £100k a week or £4.8 million a year

O Patrice Evra £70k weekly (£3.2m)

O James Collins – £50k weekly (£2.4m )

O Jordan Hugill – £20k (£1.2m )

O Sam Byram – 30k  ( £1.8 million) 

Other possible departures include Michael Antonio on a reported £70k a week and Edmilson Fernandes (£35k) which would bring in another £5.2m.
