West Ham’s board revealed the focus is currently on moving players out so Potter can start making signings

Graham Potter has received a massive transfer boost with news West Ham could soon have money to do deals for three signings.

With a miserable season out of the way, focus now turns to a West Ham rebuild Graham Potter says will be ‘exciting and interesting’.

Exciting because the Hammers boss is planning to overhaul the team around young, hungry, dynamic players.

Interesting because West Ham’s PSR situation is such that he must sell in order to be able to buy.

Best news yet for Potter ahead of window opening

Some doubt has been cast over West Ham pleading poverty ahead of a hugely important summer transfer window.

But the club continues to insist there is no money to spend until players are sold.

Before heading off for a family break after the win at Ipswich, Potter delivered a bold West Ham transfer update.

The Englishman claimed head of recruitment Kyle Macaulay has been ‘very busy’ lining up targets.

In an update overnight, West Ham’s board revealed the focus is currently on moving players out so Potter can start making signings.

“Sadly we have minimal ammunition to play with,” a spokesman for West Ham’s owners told Hammers News.

“We’re now trying to get a few players out so we can start trading.”

Now it seems that push could bear fruit.

And Potter looks to get funds for three signings as a bidding war ignites for a wantaway West Ham star.

It is highly unlikely the Hammers will be going out and spending large amounts on any single transfer deal this summer.

Macaulay is targeting prospects rather than established stars.

The Scottish recruitment guru is also looking at players in the last two years of their contracts where fees will be more reasonable.
