Exclusive: West Ham could land £8m payout after confirmed news
West Ham could earn up to £8million from their US pre-season tour this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The east London club will take part in the second edition of the Premier League Summer Series alongside Manchester United, Everton and Bournemouth.
Graham Potter’s side will face Man United in New Jersey on 26 July before they take on Everton in Chicago on 30 July and head to Atlanta to play Bournemouth on 3 August.
The inaugural Summer Series took place in 2023, with Chelsea coming out on top after facing Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Brighton.
The pre-season tournament was cancelled last summer following several complications around organising the event.
West Ham also played pre-season games in the US last summer, where they faced Wolves and Crystal Palace in Florida.
Sources have told Football Insider the Hammers could bank around £8million from the Summer Series as interest in the Premier League continues to grow in the US.
Graham Potter makes West Ham transfer demand
Football Insider revealed on 14 April Potter wants to be backed heavily by the West Ham board after his disappointing start to life in east London.
The 49-year-old has claimed just three victories in his 14 matches in charge since replacing Julen Lopetegui in January, leaving his side currently sitting 17th in the Premier League table.
West Ham are planning a squad overhaul this summer, with 10 senior stars potentially leaving the club.
That could mean a much-changed Hammers side will line up for their first Summer Series clash against Man United on 26 July as Potter looks to stamp his authority on the squad.
