West Ham United endured a challenging 2024 to 2025 season, finishing 14th in the Premier League with 43 points after a shaky start under Julen Lopetegui and a mid-season switch to Graham Potter. Conceding 62 goals made them one of the leakiest defences in the division, though Potter’s arrival in January steadied the ship, reducing expected goals conceded and guiding the team to safety and a 3-1 final-day win over Ipswich. With Jarrod Bowen contributing 13 league goals and eight assists, half of West Ham’s total goal involvements, and Tomáš Souček adding important midfield goals, the team found sparks of attacking flair. Though 2024-2025 exposed squad weaknesses and strategic instability, West Ham’s late-season revival under Potter has set a more solid defensive base and a foundation on which to rebuild and push toward consistency in the season ahead.
