C&H Exclusive: Hammers top source reveals Steidten future

West Ham latest news: Top source reveals Steidten future

“Tim Steidten is staying at West Ham and planning for next season.”

That is precisely the answer Claret & Hugh received when speaking to its top source at the club last night. The answer regarding Steidten’s future was as emphatic as it gets, and it is understood that the Hammers’ director of football got straight back to work yesterday.

The German had travelled with the team to Leverkusen for the Europa League quarter-final and could be seen speaking with Xabi Alonso after the final whistle. Steidten knows Alonso well, having been at Leverkusen when the Spaniard was identified and recruited.

However, Tim was in no mood to rest on his laurels, and we were told by the club that he got back to work yesterday and was planning for next season and looking at players.

Exciting times lie ahead, with the club in need of a rebuild and with a threadbare squad, the news that Steidten is staying and looking for players is most welcome.
