West Ham United technical director Tim Steidten is set to leave the club, with the terms of his departure in the process of being finalised. Steidten was appointed in the summer of 2023 and made responsible for West Ham’s player recruitment strategy and scouting department.

West Ham United are finalising the departure of technical director Tim Steidten after confirming the appointment of Kyle Macaulay as the club’s head of recruitment.

Potter is believed to view the Londoner – and Ezechiel Banzuzi – as key parts of a midfield overhaul at West Ham.

West Ham’s January transfer plans could be taking a different direction after the club made an acquisition this month that technical director, Tim Steidten, played no part in.
