West Ham might start the Graham Potter era with a shocking transfer gamble

West Ham were one of the busiest teams in the Premier League during the summer 2024 transfer market, particularly from an attacking perspective with striker Niclas Fullkrug, veteran playmaker Carlos Soler, and young winger Crysencio Summerville all coming in.

West Ham have been a train wreck this season, somehow taking a sizable step backwards from where they were last season after they suffered through a putrid second half of the season, leading to the iconic David Moyes's dismissal. Moyes looks like a fallen angel compared to the torment West Ham have been through over the last few months, as the ill-advised Julen Lopetegui appointment has, as any faithful LaLiga observer could have predicted, blown up spectacularly in the faces of the Hammers' decision-makers. But Lopetegui is now out and Graham Potter is in, giving West Ham a clear upgrade at the manager position. Potter, after all, first orchestrated the rise of success that Brighton enjoy today. Now, West Ham need to clean house and have a productive winter transfer window, and o...
