Graham Potter needs to make some seriously big changes at West Ham United this summer.

Potter will be under no illusions now regarding the size of the task that he faces in charge of West Ham.

The 49-year-old has really struggled to make any kind of impact whatsoever since taking over at the London Stadium in January.

Potter is said to be planning a huge rebuild at West Ham in the summer transfer window.

However, funds are believed to be tight at West Ham, so he will have to sell before he can buy.

If the Hammers head coach manages to move on Mohammed Kudus and/or Lucas Paqueta this summer, he should have a decent sized budget to work with.

And one man in particular on Potter’s radar should fill every single West Ham fan with real excitement.

West Ham is now being linked with stunning Richard Rios transfer

Palmeiras midfielder Richard Rios is a truly exceptional talent.

West Ham were heavily linked with a move to sign Rios in the summer of 2024, but he remained with the Brazilian outfit in the end.

And now UOL are claiming that Potter wants to bring the Colombia international to the London Stadium this summer.

Rios possesses all of the attributes that the Hammers are crying out for in the middle of the park right now.

He would undoubtedly be a huge upgrade on Edson Alvarez, if the Mexican is moved on from the club this summer.

West Ham may have finally found their Declan Rice replacement

The Colombian could be the man to finally replace Declan Rice at West Ham, what with his raw power and incredible stamina.

Rios is an extraordinary dribbler, and he possesses really impressive tight ball control.

Standing at 6ft 2in tall with energy, power, dynamism and athleticism in abundance, he can beat the opposition’s press with ease.

The Colombia international clearly has the physical attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League.

Richard Rios would be a stunning signing for West Ham. Whether or not Potter is able to push through a deal for the 24-year-old remains to be seen though.
