West Ham will release Andy Carroll and Adrian this summer, the club confirmed on Wednesday.

Carroll, who has seen his West Ham career hindered by injuries throughout, was never expected to remain at the club given is heft salary, while Spaniard Adrian has served as second-choice keeper to Lukasz Fabianski since the Pole arrived from Swansea last summer.

Samir Nasri, who joined on a free transfer in January after serving a doping ban, will not be offered an extension to the six-month deal penned in January.

Carroll, who had not featured since February due to injury, scored 34 goals in 142 appearances across seven years in east London.

“Andy and Adrian have both been great servants to West Ham United throughout their time at the Club and we thank them for their loyalty and commitment to the Claret and Blue cause,” co-chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold said in a joint statement.

“Both have provided us and our fellow supporters with some unforgettable moments, whether they were sensational scissor kicks and unstoppable headers in Andy’s case, or penalty saves and goals in Adrian’s.

“They can both be assured of warm welcomes whenever they return to London Stadium and we wish them, as well as Samir Nasri and the young players whose contracts are up this summer, the very best for their future careers.”

Along with the trio of senior players, a host of youngsters will also be released. 13 players in total will depart the club.
