Aaron Cresswell is set to leave West Ham this summer after ten years at the club after he turned down the offer of a contract extension, according to Sean Whetstone.
The well-connected Hammers source shared the news via his X account as he reported that Cresswell is expected to move to a northern club this summer after turning down a 12-month extension.
Wolves have been touted as one of his options after their interest last summer as he looks to move away from London and closer to his birthplace of Liverpool.
Aaron Cresswell to depart West Ham after contract decision
Cresswell’s exit this summer will be an emotional one after ten years at the club, but his role had gradually faded into more of a backup player, with David Moyes only turning to him when first-choice stars picked up injuries.
However, his involvement in recent games had been poor as he was widely criticised for his performances, so it may be the best outcome for everybody at the club that he moves on when his deal expires.
It had even been suggested that the defender could sign a new deal as a player-coach at the London Stadium to extend his stay in East London, but if that was ever on the table, it would have been rejected alongside the extension.
It was widely expected last summer that Cresswell would make the switch to join Wolves, and when he becomes available on a free transfer this time around, it seems likely that he would finally make that move.
