Macaulay was one of the few from the Potter Crew to stick around after Potter’s sacking in the spring of 2023, presumably continuing in his role as recruitment analyst though taking a backseat to the current braintrust at sporting director.

One former senior West Ham scout has said that Graham Potter is currently eyeing a reunion with one Chelsea player this month. Potter, who was sacked by Chelsea and has been out of a job since, is now back in the Premier League as head coach of West Ham United.

West Ham are in advanced talks to reunite Chelsea analyst Kyle Macauley with Graham Potter. A deal is expected to be completed this week as negotiations about an exit package move in the right direction, according to sources at both clubs.

Graham Potter’s previous work with Evan Ferguson may give West Ham an advantage in the race to sign the Brighton striker amid interest from Germany.

Chelsea are reportedly set to try and hijack West Ham ’s move to sign ‘promising’ star Stefanos Tzimas in a transfer blow for Graham Potter. West Ham, who are managed by former Blues boss Potter, have been heavily linked with a move to sign the Greek teenage sensation in January.
