West Ham manager Graham Potter is set to make a crucial contract decision this summer, and it appears he may have already reached a verdict. As the new boss continues to shape his squad, results have yet to show significant improvement, with the Hammers currently sitting 15th in the Premier League.
With the winter transfer window now closed, Potter can shift his focus to long-term planning, including both arrivals and departures in the summer. One key decision involves experienced right-back Vladimír Coufal.
Since joining West Ham in 2020 for £5.4 million, Coufal has been a dependable presence, making 140 league appearances. However, at 32 years old, his role in the squad is diminishing. This season, he has featured in 15 league matches but has only started eight, raising questions about his future at the club.
As the Hammers prepare for a crucial run of fixtures, including a home clash with Brentford after the FA Cup break, all signs point to Potter reshaping his squad—and Coufal’s future hanging in the balance.
