Graham Potter faces huge disappointment this summer, with Newcastle United eyeing up moves for two key West Ham United transfer targets.
West Ham head coach Graham Potter has grand plans for the summer window, but Newcastle boss Eddie Howe does as well, unfortunately for us.
Graham Potter is planning a big squad rebuild at West Ham, with numerous additions required all over the pitch.
The same can be said for the Magpies, with some big signings required if Howe is to guide his side back into the top four next season.

The problem for the Hammers is that funds are tight at the London Stadium right now, so Potter is targeting moves for super talented free agents like Jonathan David and Angel Gomes this summer.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have the richest owners in world football.
So it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see why the Toon might cause us problems this summer.

Jonathan David is a key transfer target for the Hammers, as is Liam Delap.

The world-class Lille hitman is firmly on the West Ham radar, whilst the Ipswich front-man is attracting attention from the Hammers as well.

However, the bad news is that Eddie Howe allegedly wants to bring David and Delap to St James’ Park.
According to The Daily Mail, Newcastle are eyeing up summer moves for the Lille and Ipswich Town strikers.
That will obviously be a huge inconvenience for the Hammers.
All we can hope for is that the Magpies don’t sign both of them.
I would take either of those two strikers at the London Stadium in a heartbeat.
Nonetheless, Newcastle eyeing moves for Jonathan David and Liam Delap ahead of the summer window is hugely frustrating for West Ham.
