WEST HAM have announced that five first-team stars are leaving and provided an update on Michail Antonio.

Antonio, who broke his leg in a car crash in December, faces an uncertain future. The club said in a statement: "There will be no formal decision and announcement on his future until such time that it is considered right and appropriate. "However, as his current contract is also due to expire on 30 June, for the purposes of the Premier League Retained List procedure at the end of the 2024/25 season, Michail will be listed as a free transfer."

Graeme McDowell earns career best pay day after missing out on LIV win
Graeme McDowell rolled back the years to finish second at LIV Golf Virginia and earned a career-best pay day aged 45. McDowell was among the initial crop to depart the PGA Tour for LIV Golf and his decision is now paying dividends after his best finish since joining the Saudi backed tour. The former US Open Champion finished just one shot behind winner Joaquin Niemann in this weeks event where we will collect a cool $1,875,000 for his efforts. On top of that, McDowell is part of the Smash Golf Team alongside Talor Gooch, Jason Kokrak, and Brooks Koepka with the team finishing third to add a cool $125,000 to McDowell's earnings and bring him to a staggering $2m total. McDowell is no stranger to large payouts, scooping $1.45m at LIV Golf Las Vegas last weekend and earned over $1.3m when he won the the US Open in 2010. Fellow Northern Ireland golfer Tom McKibbin was also in the money despite a tied for 38th finish as he collected a not so shabby $136,500 while Bryson DeChambeau warmed up nicely for his US Open defence with a tied fourth finish.
