“Potter’s SHOCKING Betrayal: West Ham to DUMP ‘Unbelievable’ Superstar for JAW-DROPPING Rebuild Cash Grab!”

West Ham United could be set to part ways with one of their key players this summer to help fund a major squad overhaul, according to reports.

The Hammers’ difficult season continued with a 3-2 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, extending their winless run to seven matches.

Despite their struggles, West Ham are safe from relegation, largely thanks to the poor performances of the three newly promoted sides.

However, it has been a forgettable campaign, with the team now languishing in 17th place and just four games remaining.

Following the latest setback, scrutiny is growing over manager Graham Potter’s future. Potter admitted to being in “pain” after seeing his team throw away a lead, conceding two late goals to Brighton.

Whether Potter remains in charge next season remains unclear, but a significant rebuild is expected regardless.

To finance that rebuild, West Ham may have no choice but to sell a major player.

According to The Express, West Ham are considering selling Lucas Paqueta to raise funds for the upcoming summer transfer window.

In addition, Mohammed Kudus might also depart, with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr interested in signing the Ghanaian for a reported £85m.

Consequently, the futures of Paqueta and Kudus at the London Stadium are in serious doubt.

However, the Hammers reportedly view Jarrod Bowen as untouchable, with the England international considered vital to the club’s future plans.

Paqueta, once hailed as “incredible” during better spells at West Ham, has had a difficult season.

The Brazilian midfielder has made 30 Premier League appearances but has managed just four goals and no assists.

His form has dipped notably, with no goal contributions in his last ten outings.

While Paqueta’s struggles mirror the team’s overall disappointing season, it’s possible that he could rediscover his best form in a stronger side.

Some believe the 27-year-old could still play an important role if West Ham make the right additions to their squad during the summer window.

Still, there are arguments against holding onto him. The midfielder, who reportedly earns £150k per week, may not fetch a high transfer fee given his recent performances.

Reports suggest he could be available for as little as £20m — a figure that could help fund incoming transfers but not transform the club’s fortunes alone.

West Ham now face a pivotal summer where key decisions about the squad’s makeup must be made.

Whether Paqueta stays or goes could signal the club’s broader intentions for the rebuild as they seek to move on from what has been a bitterly disappointing season.
