For West Ham it was an exciting summer. The Hammers appointed Real Madrid’s former coach Julen Lopetegui as manager. The Spanish tactician returns to the Premier League after his short stint at Wolverhampton Wanderers. He’s a respected coach so let’s see how he will at West Ham this time.

On the market Julen Lopetegui was supported by some classy new players. West Ham signed Germany’s striker Niclas Fullkrug while they also acquired the services of Wolves’ center-back Max Kilman.
