West Ham United have appointed Graham Potter as their new head coach. The Athletic reported on Wednesday that the club had agreed a deal with the 49-year-old following the departure of Julen Lopetegui.

But Murray, who also played for Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest, felt West Ham was a "good fit" for Potter if given the time to implement his own philosophies. "They want a better brand of football to be played at the London Stadium, and I think he'll be able to deliver that," he said.

There will be no more bubbles blown for Julen Lopetegui at West Ham, who fired the Spanish coach on Wednesday and announced Graham Potter as his replacement. Potter has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract and was unveiled as the club’s new manager at a press conference on Thursday.
