Graham Potter will have plenty on his plate this summer as he looks to get West Ham looking back up the Premier League table next term.
The former Chelsea and Brighton boss has been in charge at the London Stadium since the turn of the year and has been tasked with picking up the pieces following Julen Lopetegui’s calamitous spell at the helm.
The Hammers have regressed as a club since David Moyes led them to their famous UEFA Conference League victory, and Potter now has a big job on his hands to claw back some of the ground they have lost on some of the league’s more progressive clubs.
Here, West Ham Zone rounds up all the latest news coming out of E20 as the club’s summer window begins to heat up.

West Ham could accept cut-price Kudus deal amid Tottenham approach
Mohammed Kudus has been hotly tipped to exit East London this summer as the Hammers look to balance out their previous spending and ease their PSR worries.

The likes of Chelsea and Newcatle have shown an interest in the forward, but it is Tottenham who have been the latest club to take action.
Daniel Levy has reportedly approached West Ham over a possible deal worth £50million for Kudus, according to The West Ham Way (19 June).
The approach is seen as unsatisfactory by West Ham, who are willing to potentially accept a bid of less than Kudus’ £85m release clause, but not one that undercuts it by that amount.

West Ham want £5.1m Adama Bojang deal
West Ham are understood to be preparing to battle AC Milan and Brentford for the signing of Reims’ 21-year-old star Adama Bojang.
The French outfit are open to selling the youngster, should they receive an offer which matches their valuation of £5.1m, according to Ed Aarons (19 June).
Bojang is seen as a hugely bright young talent, and could represent a cost-effective way of Potter strengthening the attacking options at his disposal ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Michail Antonio mooted for mega-money Saudi offer
Michail Antonio’s Hammers future has been up in the air in recent weeks, and he delivered something of a surprise to the club with his discouragement by their offer of a new short-term deal.
They have already waved goodbye to several senior players this summer, and now Antonio looks set to be the latest man to depart.

Michail Antonio’s West Ham stats.
Former West Ham hero Martin Allen spoke exclusively to West Ham Zone, and revealed that he feels Antonio’s rejection may have come as a result of a big-money offer from Saudi Arabia.
“My guess is that somewhere in Saudi Arabia is prepared to give him a two-year deal on mega money, and that will be his last contract,” the 59-year-old stated.
“If you’re going to get a huge deal in Saudi Arabia, you’re going to take that over West Ham, aren’t you?”
West Ham now face a decision as to whether they want to alter their offering, or allow Antonio to walk away from the club.
