Edson Álvarez could be heading for the West Ham exit just one year after joining the club, according to new reports from ESPN Mexico.
The Mexican international is said to be outside of Graham Potter’s plans for next season, despite making 73 appearances since arriving from Ajax last August. The Hammers are reportedly open to offers, with Álvarez valued at €25m by Transfermarkt.
Why Álvarez May Be Sold This Summer
Since Potter’s arrival in January, Álvarez has featured 13 times — but it now appears the new manager prefers other midfield options heading into the 2025/26 campaign.
West Ham have made it clear they are aligned with Potter’s vision and willing to sanction a sale if a suitable offer arrives.
“Edson Álvarez is living his final days at West Ham,” said a source close to ESPN Mexico. — ESPN MX

Álvarez Previously Hinted at Flexibility
Just two months ago, the 27-year-old told Mexican media he was happy at West Ham, but notably didn’t close the door on a potential move — especially with clubs in Spain and Germany said to be keeping tabs on his situation.
With three years still left on his deal, West Ham aren’t under pressure to sell — but they could cash in now while Álvarez’s stock remains solid.
Analyst Verdict: Potter Reshapes West Ham’s Midfield
Graham Potter is clearly moving quickly to reshape West Ham’s core. Álvarez is a talented, physical midfielder — but if he doesn't fit Potter’s system, this exit would make sense for all parties.
The question is: who replaces him?
