West Ham United are set to lose numerous first-team players this summer.

The summer transfer window will be vitally important for West Ham.

Julen Lopetegui, Tim Steidten and David Moyes all tried to oversee rebuilds at the London Stadium, but none of them were successful.

Now it’s the turn of Graham Potter, and he is said to be plotting a huge revamp.

Many first-team players and experienced heads will be sent packing, with Potter desperate to add more dynamism, energy and youth to his ranks.

And one man in particular seems destined to leave the club this summer.

Vladimir Coufal contract talks with West Ham hit impasse

Hammers right-back Vladimir Coufal has been usurped by Aaron Wan-Bissaka at the London Stadium.

Vladimir Coufal has already admitted that he could leave West Ham this summer, when his contract comes to an end.

And that will almost certainly happen now.

According to The Athletic, new contract talks have hit an impasse.

The 32-year-old has undoubtedly regressed over the past 18 months or so, and it’s time for him and the club to go their separate ways.

Why Vladimir Coufal is unhappy with Graham Potter

The Czech Republic international has been extremely honest about his unhappiness at the London Stadium right now.

Coufal spoke to reporters and made it very clear that he is not happy with Potter usage of him:

“[Potter] immediately changed the formation and moved me from the side of the defence to the centre-back, which is a position I’ve never played. Despite that, I think I managed those games.“

That’s extremely honest from Vladimir Coufal, but those comments could well spell the end of his West Ham career.

And the right-back leaving the Hammers this summer will be the best outcome for all parties involved.
