Steidten to work with Lopetegui on major West Ham squad overhaul

Premier League giants West Ham will target as many as six signings this summer.

The Hammers are ready to give their full backing to incoming boss Julen Lopetegui, says the London Evening Standard.

The Spaniard is taking over from David Moyes, whose departure has already been announced.

The Hammers will continue their shift towards a European-style leadership structure.

The club's technical director Tim Steidten will be the man in charge of recruitment.

He will work with Lopetegui to bring in a centre-forward, right-back and at least one new centre-half.

Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo and Wolves captain Max Kilman are of interest.
