One area West Ham have already bolstered ahead of Julen Lopetegui’s first season in charge is the midfield department, bringing Guido Rodriguez in on a free transfer. In Lopetegui’s system, the need for comfortability on the ball is apparent, and West Ham have done their best to address that this window in the defensive line, and adding Rodriguez in midfield.
