Graham Potter finally made it back to the Premier League. We loved what he delivered at Brighton, but shook our heads at the choice of the Chelsea job in the midst of Todd Boehly’s chaos. Seven months later, Potter was history at Stamford Bridge. In his new job, the coach has won against Fulham, a draw against Aston Villa, losses against Crystal Palace and Chelsea. Potter has in a short space of time created more calm at West Ham after a challenging few months with Julen Lopetegui at the helm. Now it will be built.
On Deadline Day, West Ham secured Potter one of the most promising strikers in the Premier League. Brighton let Evan Ferguson go to London on loan for the rest of the season. The 20-year-old already has 60 Premier League appearances and 13 goals, Potter needed more power and youthful energy at the top of the West Ham attack.
The London club are aiming for a permanent transfer for Ferguson, but have realized it will be tough to compete with the bigger Premier League clubs who have also set their sights on the striker. According to TEAMtalk, West Ham have placed Rasmus Hojlund on the list of candidates if Ferguson signing is not possible.
According to the English media, Potter is said to be very keen to bring down the average age in the squad, the 22-year-old Højlund should also fit well into Potter’s system.
