West Ham’s technical director Tim Steidten has recently revealed that he has not been contacted by Liverpool and is eagerly anticipating the upcoming transfer window with the Hammers. This revelation comes at a time when Liverpool are in the hunt for a new sporting director and manager, with Jurgen Klopp’s departure from the club at the end of the season.
The Reds are aiming to appoint a new sporting director prior to considering candidates for the vacant managerial role, and Steidten has emerged as one of the leading contenders for the position.
Despite the Merseyside giants expressing interest in his services, the 44-year-old made it clear that he has not been in discussions with anyone from Liverpool’s management. He maintains that he is content in his current role at West Ham, though he acknowledged the flattering rumors linking him to Liverpool.
Steidten also highlighted that his immediate focus is on the upcoming transfer window, which involves formulating plans for the Hammers. He noted that the intense nature of the Premier League necessitates strategic player acquisitions, and his efforts in previous transfer windows have contributed to strengthening the squad. Consequently, he is optimistic about the team’s prospects in achieving its objectives.
Upon acknowledging the speculation connecting him to Liverpool, Steidten expressed that while it is an honor to be associated with one of the world’s biggest football clubs, his primary commitment remains to West Ham, where he feels comfortable and valued.
Looking ahead, Steidten affirmed that he is eagerly anticipating the forthcoming weeks and months until the end of the season, with an eye towards the future and continued planning for West Ham. He reiterated his dedication to the club’s objectives and suggested that the next transfer window will be a critical phase in shaping the team’s progression.
In the event that Liverpool decides to pursue Steidten for the role of sporting director, it has been suggested that they would be required to provide compensation to West Ham. This further underscores the level of interest from Liverpool in acquiring Steidten’s services.
