Potter won't get 'caught in noise' over future or face swaps

He added: “Nobody is happy with where we are at but at the same time you have to look at the context and not get caught in the noise.

“It doesn’t affect me and I don’t listen to that. It is part of the noise of the Premier League and it is what you sign up for.”

A trip to Everton at 20:00 BST on Monday is next for West Ham and a reunion with former boss David Moyes.

In two stints in charge, Moyes led the Hammers to a famous Conference League triumph in 2023, before leaving at the end of the following season and taking over at Everton again in January 2025.

The Scot also faced serious criticism during his time at London Stadium and felt sympathy for Potter.

“I never think it’s correct when managers come under any great criticism,” added Moyes.

“Graham Potter’s an excellent manager. You don’t get the jobs [he has] unless you’ve got some quality in management.

“He’s probably finding it quite difficult at the moment but I have no doubt he’ll be a success. This business doesn’t mean that everybody can deliver a trophy. The majority of managers don’t.”
