Graham Potter has not been left with any doubt about his managerial ability after making a poor start to the season but he has warned West Ham will struggle to improve if they do not learn from previous mistakes in the transfer market.
Potter, who is looking for a response from his players in Friday evening’s home game against Chelsea, inherited an ageing squad after his appointment as manager in January. He is urgently looking for reinforcements after losing 3-0 to Sunderland last Saturday but West Ham have not landed many of their top targets and found a tight budget limited by the difficulty of selling players who are on lucrative long-term deals.
