West Ham are set for a big summer with Graham Potter expected to play a key role in the incomings and outgoings.
The former Chelsea manager took charge mid-season and the Hammers appear to be on course to finish in the bottom six.
While there have been signs of improvement in the style of play, results have not been overly impressive.

Nayef Aguerd informs Hammers that he wants out
Nayef Aguerd, who moved to the London Stadium in 2022, has spent this season out on loan at Real Sociedad.
He has impressed in his loan spell in Spain and the style of La Liga has suited his style, helping him take his game to the next level.

Nayef Aguerd’s La Liga stats this season
However, it’s understood that the Morocco international does not see things the same way.
He has informed the hierarchy that he wants a move away this summer.
The Hammers have held talks with the 29-year-old and his agent, and it’s clear that they want an exit in the coming months, with Ex claiming that he’s yet “another” player who’s set to leave.

West Ham must cash in on Aguerd this summer
Aguerd’s desire to leave presents an opportunity for the Irons to capitalise on his rising stock, with two years remaining on his West Ham contract until June 2027.
At 29, the Moroccan defender is not yet 30, retaining strong market value after an impressive loan spell at Real Sociedad, where he played 21 La Liga matches and 11 in the Europa League.
His performances surely will have attracted interest from clubs, skyrocketing his transfer value, leaving the London club in a good position.
This cash influx could fund squad reinforcements, aligning with their Premier League ambitions.
