As West Ham United continue to push to be regulars among the Premier League's top seven clubs, David Moyes will have major decisions to make in the summer.
A number of first-team players are out of contract in the next few months and with the January transfer window open, teams outside of England are currently able to speak to players about agreeing a pre-contract ahead of a future move.
While not every player on the below list is guaranteed to stay, football.london has taken a look at not only who will be free agents at the end of the season but whether or not they can expect a new contract in the near future.

Lukasz Fabianski
The long-standing starting goalkeeper for West Ham, Lukasz Fabianski has been an excellent servant to the club and could extend his stay at the club as they transition to a new goalkeeper.
Alphonse Areola could takeover the mantle with Moyes recently admitting the French shot-stopper 'has been excellent playing in Europe' and that Fabianski 'will be aware he is under pressure.'
Angelo Ogbonna
Having returned to fitness following an injury riddled pre-season, Ogbonna has once again proved that he can be depended on what named in the starting-line at the heart of the defence.
Aged 35 when his contract expires, a return to Italy could be on the cards, eight years after leaving Juventus for east London.
Darren Randolph
Having not appeared for the Hammers since May 19 2021, Darren Randolph is the current third-choice at the London Stadium and is unlikely to see any action in 2023 unless there's a major injury crisis.
Turning 36 before the end of the season, any deal put forward is likely to keep some continuity in the goalkeepers' room despite his likely lack of game time.
Craig Dawson
Nearly leaving the club in the summer, Craig Dawson has made eight Premier League appearances so far this season after missing the opening few weeks due to injury.
Moyes addressed the centre-back issue in the summer with the additions of Thilo Kehrer and Nayef Aguerd and it is likely Dawson will be allowed to leave on a free transfer after the expiration of his contract.
Manuel Lanzini
Manuel Lanzini has not featured for West Ham since the Carabao Cup penalty defeat to Blackburn Rovers in November and the continued development of Lucas Paqueta has deemed Lanzini surplus to requirements.
As he enters his 30s, Lanzini will be looking for regular first team football and leaving in January before his contract expires in the summer could provide Moyes with some extra funds should he look to strengthen in January.
Vladimir Coufal
A player who could be extended beyond the expiration of his deal, Vladimir Coufal is still starting for the Hammers despite the summer addition of Kehrer.
Should the German international nail down the right-back spot as his own before the season ends, Coufal could look to leave but it would be smart to tie down the defender who still has plenty to offer.
Conor Coventry
Used primarily in cup competitions this season, Conor Coventry is still developing and at 22 still has a long way to go before reaching his full potential.
A good squad option to have, extending him further while loaning him out for the remainder of the season could be the best course of action with the continued emergence of Flynn Downes as well as Ollie Scarles.
Harrison Ashby
Young right-back Harrison Ashby has had chances this season in the Europa Conference League, but there has been a lot of talk surrounding his long-term future.
The Scottish defender has been linked with a move to Newcastle United for a number of months, something which could happen if he does not sign fresh terms.
