West Ham leak that top star is leaving and Kyle Macauley already has replacement lined up

It looks set to be a case of one in and one out at West Ham as the club’s new head of recruitment makes big summer plans.

If West Ham fans thought last summer was busy then they may have seen nothing yet.

There was a 21-player turnaround during Tim Steidten’s £155m splurge last year.

Now it seems the Hammers could be on course for an overhaul specifically targeting the age and talent of the squad.

Graham Potter has always made it clear he builds teams around young, dynamic stars.

There will always be room for the odd experienced head.

Out with the old and in with the young at West Ham

But Hammers News has been told by top sources inside the club that the main aim is to revitalise the oldest squad in the Premier League.

PSR impacts all clubs nowadays. Even the world’s richest sports team – Newcastle United – have been forced to sell to buy.

West Ham are no different.

And after losing the added revenue of Europe, cloth has to be cut accordingly. Especially as Premier League clubs recently voted to keep PSR in its current state for next season.

West Ham plan to raise around £100m in player sales providing buyers can be found.

The club paid Chelsea £1.2m to bring Kyle Macauley in as the new head of recruitment.

Those who followed the January transfer window rumour mill will have seen Macauley’s impact almo

West Ham went from being linked to cheap deals for a number of players in their 30s to targeting young, emerging talents from across Europe.

It is widely accepted that the Irons made a major mistake with their striker dealings last summer.
