Tim Steidten hired private jet for West Ham United summer transfer
Tim Steidten hired a private jet for the representatives of Mohammed Kudus and Konstantinos Mavropanos before they joined West Ham, according to the Athletic.
The media outlet claim [17 May] that Steidten was pushing for these two signings while David Moyes wanted more tried and tested options from England.
It’s understood that Steidten’s sales pitch and willingness to go the extra mile helped the Hammers secure the two signings last summer.
Tim Steidten and Julen Lopetegui expected to work in tandem at West Ham
As the newly appointed technical director, Steidten demonstrated a forward-thinking mindset by hiring a private jet for the representatives of Kudus and Mavropanos, showcasing his commitment to securing these signings.
This approach was a departure from the traditional methods of player recruitment and highlighted Steidten’s ability to adapt to the evolving football landscape.
Now, with the imminent appointment of Julen Lopetegui as the new manager, who is likely to share Steidten’s vision, the Hammers could be in for an impressive transfer window.
Lopetegui’s managerial experience and tactical acumen, combined with Steidten’s innovative transfer strategy, could result in the acquisition of players who fit the club’s long-term vision and contribute to its success on the pitch.
This collaboration between the technical director and the manager could lead to a more cohesive and effective recruitment process, ultimately strengthening the team and hopefully making the team good enough to compete for Europe again.
