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.

West Ham are in advanced talks to reunite Chelsea analyst Kyle Macauley with Graham Potter. Chelsea say goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts is key at the club and won't be re-joining Potter, having been brought to Stamford Bridge by the club's former manager.

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.
