Potter Eyes Exciting Summer Signing After West Ham’s Reported £8.3M Bid
Graham Potter Must Prioritize Adding Pace to West Ham’s Squad This Summer
West Ham’s Interest in Samuel Mbangula: A Potential Summer Move
Blistering pace is crucial in today’s Premier League, and Graham Potter knows West Ham lacks enough of it.
The Hammers need greater competition in attack, and with Potter planning a major squad overhaul, this summer’s transfer window promises excitement.
Potter has a track record of signing young, high-potential players, and his latest target fits that profile perfectly.
West Ham’s Pursuit of Samuel Mbangula
According to TuttoSport, West Ham saw an £8.3 million bid for Juventus winger Samuel Mbangula rejected in January.
The 21-year-old is expected to be available for £20-25 million in the summer, and if Potter remains keen, West Ham will likely return with another offer.
Mbangula has impressed in Italy this season, showcasing blistering pace and a direct playing style.
He has contributed four goals and four assists in 25 appearances for Juventus (Transfermarkt), an impressive output given his age and limited experience at the highest level.
The Belgian international is primarily a right-footed left winger but is also capable of playing on the right or as a number 10.
His versatility and talent suggest he could develop into a top-class player.
Securing Mbangula would be a huge coup for West Ham, but whether the board is willing to meet Juventus’ valuation remains to be seen.
