Graham Potter’s ability to communicate effectively and outline his vision for the club played a significant role in convincing new signings Mateus Fernandes and Soungoutou Magassa to join West Ham United. Fernandes mentioned that Potter’s description of the project and tactical plan appealed to him, while Magassa also credited Potter for his decision to reject other offers and sign for the Premier League club.
Magassa expressed his excitement about joining a club with a rich history and passionate fanbase, highlighting Potter’s role in persuading him to make the move. Despite interest from other European clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt and Roma, Magassa chose West Ham due to the club’s stature and potential for success.
Both Magassa and Fernandes, who are young talents at 21 years old, bring dynamism and intensity to the team’s midfield. Magassa, likened to Moises Caicedo, is described as a player who gives his all on the pitch and is focused on contributing to the team’s success. His strong work ethic and commitment are expected to make him a favorite among the fans.
As Magassa prepares to wear the number 27 shirt previously worn by notable players like Dimitri Payet and Rio Ferdinand, Fernandes could make his debut soon while Magassa will have to wait until after the September international break to showcase his talents for West Ham. Overall, Potter’s role in reshaping the midfield with these new signings should not be underestimated, and the club’s supporters can look forward to witnessing their contributions on the pitch.
