Sean Whetstone reports that Aaron Cresswell, who has spent eleven years with West Ham, is expected to depart this summer after declining a contract extension.
After turning down a 12-month extension, Cresswell is anticipated to go to a northern club this summer, according to the well-connected Hammers insider who broke the news via his X account.
Following their interest in him last summer, Wolves have been mentioned as one of his alternatives as he tries to relocate from London to his hometown of Liverpool.
Aaron Cresswell will leave West Ham following a decision on his contract
After 10 years at the club, Cresswell’s departure this summer will undoubtedly be bittersweet, but David Moyes had been using him more and more as a backup when his first-choice players became injured.
Nevertheless, he has been heavily criticized for his performances in recent games, so it could be best for everyone at the club if he leaves when his contract expires.
To stay in East London longer, it had even been recommended that the defender sign a new contract as a player-coach at the London Stadium, but if that had ever been put up for discussion, it would have been turned down along with the extension.
When Cresswell becomes available on a free transfer this time around, it appears likely that he will ultimately make the switch to Wolves, as was widely anticipated last summer.
