The Hammers finished 14th with 43 points from 38 games in the 2024–25 Premier League season, thus it's safe to say they fell short of expectations. That followed a significant summer spending binge led by former coach Julen Lopetegui and former technical director Tim Steiden. After letting go of Lopetegui and acquiring Potter, they also signed Evan Ferguson on loan from Brighton during the January transfer window.
Daniel Cummings, a young striker, has already agreed to join the Irons from Celtic as well. Following Southampton's relegation, Ramsdale is also anticipated to sign a contract with Irons. West Ham is the "favourite to land" Ramsdale, ahead of Leeds United and Newcastle United, and the stopper is "a lot" liked by the Irons. The goalie currently has a £25 million release clause. Ramsdale would bring a wealth of top-flight expertise to the London Stadium on a £120,000-per-week basis at St Mary's.
