Graham Potter’s Defensive Strategy and Transfer Plans at West Ham

Graham Potter is set to implement a back three formation at West Ham United next season, aiming to revitalize the team's defensive structure. This strategic shift is part of Potter's broader plan to reshape the squad, with a particular focus on the defensive line. The move is expected to provide a new lease of life to Nayef Aguerd, who has struggled to secure a regular spot under previous management.

In addition to tactical changes, Potter is also overseeing a significant transfer overhaul. Konstantinos Mavropanos and Emerson Palmieri are reportedly on the chopping block, as West Ham aims to streamline the squad and raise funds for new signings. The club is keen to offload Mavropanos, a 2022 signing once praised by David Moyes as 'brilliant', indicating a shift in the team's direction under Potter's leadership.

The potential exits of Mavropanos and Emerson could pave the way for new acquisitions, with West Ham showing interest in players like Niclas Fullkrug and Santiago Rodriguez. As the transfer window progresses, Potter's influence on West Ham's squad composition will become increasingly evident, setting the stage for a transformative season.
