West Ham United director of football Tim Steidten may well be cooking up something incredibly exciting this summer.
Tim Steidten arrived at West Ham in July 2023, and proceeded to help facilitate the signings of Mohammed Kudus, Edson Alvarez and Konstantinos Mavropanos.
This summer, he has played key roles in signing Luis Guilherme and Max Kilman for the Hammers, as well as spending time out in Brazil helping Lucas Paqueta get through his current situation.
Steidten has far more power to do his job now that Julen Lopetegui has replaced David Moyes, and the German actually took a swipe at the Scot during a recent press conference.
The 45-year-old is working tirelessly alongside Lopetegui to get the West Ham squad up to scratch heading into the 2024/25 campaign.
If the Hammers are to be competitive next season in all fronts, the German and the Spaniard need to bring in at least four or five more high quality signings this summer.
One of those needs to be another centre-back – someone who can forge a really strong partnership with Kilman.
