Wan-Bissaka | Players see a bright future under Potter

Potter has changed a little bit of everything in his opening few months at the Club, such as moving to a back three, attacking wing-backs and a pair of number tens behind the front man.

And Wan-Bissaka, who is relishing his new role as a rampaging wing-back, insists his early impressions of the 49-year-old are positive and insists he sees a bright future for West Ham.

“I've enjoyed every minute [working under Potter],” Wan-Bissaka added. “I think every manager is different. You're not going to have one that's the same. Everyone has their way of coaching and managing, but I've enjoyed it, and so has the team as a whole. You can see everyone's happy and enjoying the work that we’ve done.

“I think we're going to get better, and anything is possible with this team.

“He has put me at right wing-back, which means I’m competing at both ends of the pitch. Obviously the number one priority is our own box, as I'm a defender, but I’ve enjoyed expressing myself and being me.

“It's really boosted my confidence, and I'm really relishing it at the moment and enjoying it.”

After starting against Everton earlier this month, Wan-Bissaka hit a big career landmark by reaching 200 appearances in the Premier League, and the defender was brimming with pride after being presented with a special award at Rush Green training ground last week.

He said: “It’s a really proud moment. It’s been over seven years now since that first Premier League game.

“I’m very grateful for it as well. It hasn't been easy, and there could have been moments where I could’ve gone off track, but you have to just keep focused on your goal and just stay on track no matter the situation, and I kept my head down and managed to reach 200 appearances, so it's a big achievement for me.

“Now I just want to play as many games as possible and enjoy every game as it comes. You can't play forever, so you’ve got to enjoy every moment.”
