How Konstantinos Mavropanos and other West Ham players reacted to Freddie Potts exit message
Freddie Potts has officially completed his move to Club Brugge from West Ham United.
The Hammers' relegation from the Premier League last season has come at a big cost during the transfer window.
Mateus Fernandes was sold to rivals Tottenham Hotspur in an £85million deal, before Crysencio Summerville departed for the cash-rich Saudi Pro League to join Al-Hilal.
Homegrown talent Potts then emerged as a surprise target for Champions League side Club Brugge in Belgium.
His exit was officially announced by the Hammers on Tuesday, bringing an end to a lengthy association with his boyhood club.
Potts penned an emotional farewell that the Hammers posted on Instagram, and several first-team players have reacted.
How did Konstantinos Mavropanos react to Freddie Potts' West Ham message?
Potts officially departs the London Stadium for an "undisclosed fee" on a contract until June 2030.
However, it is understood that West Ham will pocket around £10m from the sale of the 22-year-old.
Upon his departure, the Irons posted a lengthy message from Potts, which detailed his pride at playing for the club.
Among the players to like the post were his team-mate Konstantinos Mavropanos, who has himself been linked with a summer exit.
Kyle Walker-Peters, Oliver Scarles, and Lewis Orford also liked the post, which was also put up on West Ham's official website.
It remains to be seen if there will be any other exits during the transfer window, though for Nuno Espirito Santo the focus has to now be on incomings.
Who could West Ham sign during the transfer window?
The reality of relegation has been pretty brutal for the Hammers, who have seen their squad cherry picked.
But with the Championship campaign fast on the horizon, there really needs to be a focus now on bringing players into the club.
AZ Alkmaar's Republic of Ireland internationa Troy Parrott has been linked with West Ham, though it could cost upward of £20m to sign him.
Sunderland's Wilson Isidor was another prominent name linked with the London Stadium, but the Black Cats reportedly have no intention to sell.
However, there could be more look as it pertains to Simon Adingra, with West Ham said to be in discussions with Sunderland over a loan move.
Leicester City centre-back Harry Souttar is also said to be on West Ham's radar, but a reported fee of £10m could be a stumbling block.
