Dan Potts

FC Schalke 04 v West Ham United - Schalke 04 Cup - Pre Season Friendly Tournament

It feels like Dan Potts has been on the fringes of the first team for ages. However, at only 20 years of age, he still has the potential to become a regular in West Ham’s first team. He is a competent defender who has good positional awareness and is solid in the tackle.

Hopefully, he can challenge Joey O’Brien this season in terms of covering the very impressive Aaron Cresswell. In terms of maintain his West Ham career, Potts needs to prove himself over the course of this season.

He has only recently signed a two year deal and Sam Allardyce has not been afraid to turn to Potts when he is needed in the first team. Allardyce’s faith in Potts is a good sign due to the fact that the manager rarely looks to younger players when assembling his team.
