West Ham United squad: Confirmed shirt numbers for 2024/25
- West Ham have a new manager for the 2024/25 season
- David Moyes replaced by Julen Lopetegui at London Stadium
- Hammers were busy in the summer transfer market
The 2024/25 season signals the start of a new era for West Ham United, with the east London outfit under new management.
David Moyes' successful but divisive reign as Hammers boss has come to an end, with Spaniard Julen Lopetegui - formerly of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Real Madrid and Spain - replacing the 61-year-old. Exciting times may well lie ahead for the capital side.
Lopetegui was backed in his first summer at the London Stadium, with West Ham supporters enjoying many fresh faces in maroon for 2024/25 and beyond. Several first-teamers have departed too, meaning there have been significant changes in terms of squad numbers.
Here are the West Ham squad numbers for the 2024/25 campaign.

What numbers can Premier League players wear?
Premier League players have a whole host of choices when it comes to selecting what number shirt to wear, with any number between one and 99 acceptable. Having said that, players generally tend to opt for numbers between one and 40.
The number one jersey is always reserved for a goalkeeper, while players' positions elsewhere on the pitch usually dictate what number they wear. For example, defenders tend to be between two and six, midfielders love the number eight and strikers are normally number nine.
Can Premier League players change squad number?
Premier League clubs must submit a full list of their first-team squad at the beginning of every season, which includes what number they will wear for the upcoming campaign. The deadline this year is 14 September.
Up until that point, players are able to change numbers freely. They don't get the opportunity to do so again until the January transfer window, but even then they are unable to swap numbers with a teammate. They must choose a number that is vacant at the club they play for.
