West Ham Plans Major Summer Overhaul Including Key Midfield, Defensive Targets

News summary

West Ham United is preparing for a significant summer overhaul under head coach Graham Potter and recruitment lead Kyle Macaulay, focusing on quality reinforcements to reshape the squad and define a new identity after inconsistent seasons. The club urgently needs a reliable striker following Niclas Fullkrug's injury issues and Evan Ferguson's unproductive loan, with Lille’s Jonathan David and Wycombe’s Richard Kone among potential targets. Midfield revitalization is also a priority, with Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge emerging as a key target after rivals Manchester City pursued Ardon Jashari, signaling a strategic shift towards younger, contract-nearing players. West Ham will need to sell several fringe players to fund new acquisitions, with center-back Nayef Aguerd among those attracting strong interest and potentially commanding a £20 million fee. Meanwhile, Manchester United has shown interest in West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus, proposing a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho, though the transfer remains uncertain amid competition from Saudi clubs, Liverpool, and Arsenal. The club faces a timing challenge as some targets are involved in the FIFA Club World Cup and unavailable for immediate transfer discussions.
