Steidten’s Summer Showdown

West Ham‘s Director of Football, Tim Steidten, faces a monumental task this summer. Having overseen successful signings like Alvarez, Kudus, and Mavropanos (with the occasional hiccup), he’s now entrusted with a massive summer rebuild.

Steidten’s summer showdown

West Ham seems to be embracing a more continental approach to transfers, a shift potentially influenced by Steidten’s background at Bayer Leverkusen.

Let us not forget that up to twelve players could be departing the club, potentially requiring significant squad turnover. Adding to the pressure, some key players like Soucek and Coufal might also need replacements.

Steidten’s recent trip to Brazil suggests a search for young talents with potential, a shift away from expensive established players. This strategy could unearth hidden gems like Paqueta or Kudus at bargain prices.

Steidten’s challenge is clear: rebuild a potentially depleted West Ham squad with limited financial resources. His ability to identify and acquire young talent will be crucial for the club’s future success.
