Potter confirms Macaulay appointment

West Ham boss Graham Potter has confirmed the appointment of Kyle Macaulay as head of recruitment.

In Friday's news conference, Potter said he was "delighted" about Macaulay's arrival, adding: "Kyle has been part of my staff since I worked in Sweden. He is a good link between the coach and the club in terms of recruitment.

"In terms of the hours and depths of conversations you have to have around recruitment, it's easier to have with Kyle than with me. I'm on the pitch working with the players.

"I'm really happy with the appointment - it was something that was always going to happen, it was just a case of when. I'm delighted that he's here."
