Tim Steidten is the one calling the shots at the London Stadium this summer with a new manager at the helm.
West Ham must be proactive this summer in the transfer market
The Hammers have to be proactive this summer as it allows the club to secure their top targets early, reducing the risk of losing out to rival clubs.
This is particularly important for a club like West Ham, who are not among the financial powerhouses of the Premier League.
By conducting their business early, the Irons can integrate new signings into the team during pre-season.
This gives the players time to adapt to the team’s tactics and style of play, which can be crucial for a successful season.
Being proactive can help to avoid the panic buying that often occurs towards the end of the transfer window.
This can lead to overpaying for players or settling for second-choice targets.
By completing their business early, they can avoid the disruption that can occur when players are bought or sold late in the window.
This can help to create a settled and focused squad, ready to hit the ground running when the season starts.
