🚨 Technical director Tim Steidten is on the brink of leaving at West Ham, talkSPORT understands. Steidten only joined the Hammers in the summer of 2023, but has come under intense scrutiny over signings like injury-plagued Niclas Fullkrug, midfielder Luis Guilherme and defender Jean-Clair Todibo. The German has seen his influence in this transfer window’s recruitment plans reduced dramatically. With West Ham agreeing a deal with Chelsea to bring in new manager Graham Potter’s trusted transfer analyst Kyle Macaulay, it seems a matter of when and not if Steidten departs. It is believed Steidten, who fell out with both David Moyes and Julen Lopetegui, has already started offering his services to other clubs. #WHUFC #WestHam #GrahamPotter #TimSteiden
