Aaron Cresswell, Lukasz Fabianski and Mohammed Kudus have all departed West Ham, while more exits are expected as Potter looks to put his stamp on the squad.
Among those with uncertain futures is Mavropanos. The Greek defender endured a disappointing campaign last season, and Football Insider reported that Potter is actively exploring replacements for Mavropanos to bolster West Ham’s options at centre-back.
While Mavropanos’ own future remains up in the air, he shared a subtle reaction on social media after another departure from the club was confirmed.
