West Ham United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle and are now in the bottom three, facing relegation to the Championship. Survival requires beating Leeds at the London Stadium and hoping Tottenham Hotspur lose at home to Everton. Relegation would end 14 consecutive seasons in the top flight and could force the club to sell talented players. Jarrod Bowen, Mateus Fernandes, and Crysencio Summerville are mentioned as potential targets for top-flight clubs. January signing Taty Castellanos scored in the loss and has five Premier League goals in 17 appearances, but a claim says he would not play in the Championship and would seek an exit within six months. Flamengo are reported to be interested, and other big names may leave at low cost, making an immediate return to the Premier League uncertain.
"West Ham are staring relegation to the Championship in the face heading into the final day, knowing that they must beat Leeds at the London Stadium and hope Tottenham Hotspur lose at home to Everton. Relegation would bring to an end a run of 14 successive seasons in the top flight for West Ham, who were last in the second tier in 2011/12."
"Dropping down to the Championship is likely to mean West Ham are forced to sell some of their most talented players. The likes of Jarrod Bowen, Mateus Fernandes and Crysencio Summerville could all pursue top-flight football. West Ham could lose several players if they drop out of the Premier League."
"As could January signing Taty Castellanos, who scored a sensational consolation goal in the defeat at Newcastle. The Argentinian forward has scored five Premier League goals in 17 appearances since joining the club from Lazio. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. And, according to Italian journalist Marco Mapreso, Castellanos won't play in the Championship."
"Instead, the 27-year-old would seek an exit just six months after his arrival if West Ham fail to stay in the Premier League. Brazilian side Flamengo are reportedly interested in Castellanos, but have yet to make an approach. More worryingly for West Ham fans, Mapreso claims that many big names are ready to bid farewell (at a low cost), suggesting there could be something of an exodus."
