West Ham have announced that midfielder Freddie Potts has signed a new three-year deal with the club.
Potts joined the club at the age of six and worked his way through the Hammers academy before making his first-team debut in December 2021 as a substitute in the 1-0 loss against Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Europa League.
Last season Potts appeared twice for David Moyes‘s men, both on route to the East London club’s Europa Conference League triumph, firstly in the group-stage victory at FCSB and then the round of 16 second-leg win over AEK Larnaca.
The 19-year-old was also part of the squad that beat Fiorentina in the Final, where he picked himself up a winners medal.
After putting pen to paper on the new deal, Potts told the official website of his desire to nail down a first team opportunity ahead of the new season.

‘It’s a really good feeling to sign a new three-year contract,’ said Potts.
‘It’s another positive step forward for me in my career.
I’ve been working towards this for a while and feel my performances for the 21s last season and being in and around the first team have helped me get to this point. I’m just really excited to see how it all pans out for me over the coming years.’
Potts is the son of Hammers legend Steve Potts, who played over 500 games for the club in a 15 year-spell, while older brother Dan is back in the Premier League with Luton having started his career at Upton Park.
