‘West Ham on home straight to sign Sancho’ as Man United bombshell drops
Jadon Sancho has been linked with a move to West Ham this summer as Graham Potter faces a squad overhaul.
With Mohammed Kudus linked with Tottenham, the Hammers are in desperate need of a new winger this summer.
As a result, Potter has identified Sancho as a potential signing at West Ham as they seek to reinforce their attacker.
Now, the Hammers manager has received a boost in his pursuit of the Manchester United star.
Sancho left out of Manchester United’s pre-season squad
Pre-season is now set to begin over the coming weeks, ready for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
West Ham have already organised multiple friendlies, including some in the USA.
Manchester United are one team that the Hammers are set to play next month, but Ruben Amorim will be leaving multiple players behind for the trip.
According to The Sun (19 June), the manager is set to banish four stars from their upcoming pre-season tour in the USA.
Anthony, Alejandro Garnacho, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are all set to be left out as Amorim makes a ruthless decision.
This would now be the perfect time for West Ham to make a move and sign Sancho.
It is clear that he is unwanted at Manchester United, and Potter might be able to get him back to his best.
There is no reason why West Ham can’t seal the deal for Sancho, with the transfer being ideal for both parties.
Sancho transfer would be a risky move for Potter
Whether the 25-year-old moves to the London Stadium on loan or on a permanent deal, it is no doubt a risky move for Potter.
Sancho has been out of form for years and has rarely impressed in England.

With the former England international likely to replace Kudus, he will have big shoes to fill.
However, Sancho also may think he has a point to prove after his reputation in recent years has diminished.
Hopefully, if the winger does join, he finds the form he previously had at Borussia Dortmund.
