Graham Potter is preparing some seriously exciting transfer moves at West Ham United in the summer.
The squad at the London Stadium is in desperate need of a big overhaul, and that’s exactly what West Ham head coach Graham Potter is said to be plotting.
Potter is thought to be planning a huge squad revamp, as he tries to clean up the mess that was left behind by Julen Lopetegui and David Moyes.
The Hammers’ need for a new centre-forward has been well-documented, but a big upgrade in the centre-back department is very much needed as well.
Potter is clearly big fans of Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo, but the Hammers head coach needs more quality central defenders to choose from.

The good news is that Potter seems to be prepared to make a ruthless call on one of his defenders this summer.
And at the same time, the 49-year-old is eyeing up a hugely exciting replacement for him.
Konstantinos Mavropanos wants to quit West Ham
There will be a big turnover of players at the London Stadium this summer.

Many of the signings from the last two summer windows are being linked with the exit door, as Potter plans a big reshuffle.
According to the Sunday Mirror (print edition March 9th, page 70), Konstantinos Mavropanos could quit West Ham this summer.
That’s because the Hammers are said to be lining up a move to sign one of the most talented young central defenders on the continent.
It has been claimed that Potter is growing tired of Mavropanos and his incredibly poor performances for West Ham.
Mavropanos, 27, has been awful for the Hammers since joining us from Stuttgart for £21 million in the summer of 2023 (Buli News).
His lack of concentration, poor decision making and shocking positional awareness have cost us in key moments on multiple occasions.

Now his time at the London Stadium is seemingly coming to an end.
Konstantinos Mavropanos out and Koni De Winter in at West Ham
The Sunday Mirror are claiming that Genoa defender Koni De Winter is a priority transfer target for the Hammers this summer.
The 22-year-old centre-back is a real talent, and he has absolutely everything needed to succeed in the Premier League.
West Ham have been heavily linked with Koni De Winter over the past few months, and what an incredible signing he would be for us.
He’s unbelievably talented with the ball at his feet, has coolness and composure by the bucketload and standing at 6ft 3in tall, he has the physical profile needed to succeed in England’s top flight as well.
The thought of Koni De Winter coming in and Konstantinos Mavropanos leaving West Ham in the summer is an incredibly exciting one.
In my opinion, that scenario would represent a bigger upgrade than when everyone started switching from the Nokia 3210 to Apple iPhones!
