Graham Potter Appointed West Ham Manager

Graham Potter, recently appointed as West Ham's head coach, faces significant challenges in the January transfer window, needing to strengthen the squad and address the club's defensive issues. He aims to bring in a striker, a central midfielder, and a defender, with Chelsea's Ben Chilwell and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall identified as potential targets. The club's financial constraints may require them to sell players before making new acquisitions, as they are close to their PSR limit. Additionally, some players like Luizao are looking to leave West Ham, and the club may also explore the loan market. Potter's arrival comes after the sacking of Julen Lopetegui, marking his first managerial role since leaving Chelsea, where he seeks to improve the team's culture and performance. He has expressed a desire to reunite with his former assistant Kyle Macaulay as part of his backroom staff.
