Tactical Fit and Transfer Implications
If John Victor comes to West Ham, he’d fit right in with manager Graham Potter’s way of playing with lots of possession and pressing high. Victor is good at playing as a sweeper and passing the ball which is exactly what Potter likes. But with other teams interested West Ham better move quick if they want to get him.
