West Ham United’s Strategic Signing
West Ham United are reportedly closing in on the transfer of free agent defender Kyle Walker-Peters, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Italian journalist has given the deal his trademark ‘here we go’, which usually means this can be considered a done deal, pending some final formalities.
Walker-Peters’ Journey to West Ham
Walker-Peters has previously been linked with West Ham and other clubs after coming to the end of his contract at former club Southampton. Romano has posted on X, formerly Twitter, that Walker-Peters also had the chance to move to Besiktas, though that deal is now off and he’s moving to the London Stadium instead.
The Deal Details
‘Kyle Walker-Peters has agreed to join West Ham on a three-year deal, here we go!’ Romano said. ‘After deal off with Besiktas, the fullback accepts to join West Ham as formal steps will follow soon. Quick talks as @ExWHUEmployee called and deal until June 2028.’
What This Means for West Ham
This looks to go through now and it’s fine business by West Ham for an experienced free agent. Hammers fans will hope Walker-Peters can make an immediate impact and give Graham Potter a chance to improve on last season’s underwhelming results and performances.
