Luis Guilherme begins West Ham medical as Dharmesh Sheth shares transfer news
Luis Guilherme is currently undergoing his West Ham medical, according to Dharmesh Sheth.
The Sky Sports News reporter shared the update via X on Tuesday (10:03 am, 11 June).
It follows his previous report on Saturday (8 June) that Guilherme was expected to undergo his medical early this week ahead of completing a £25million move from Palmeiras.
A formal announcement of the signing is expected to arrive when the transfer window opens on 14 June.
Julen Lopetegui set to welcome Luis Guilherme to West Ham United
It looks as if the Hammers have already sealed their first signing of the summer.
After the disappointment of the Fabricio Bruno transfer saga, the club, and Technical Director Tim Steidten in particular, will be delighted to get this deal across the line.
At times it looked as if a move for Guilherme was also destined to fall through, but now that the player is reportedly undergoing his medical, barring any late drama, a deal will be considered as good as done.
It is an intriguing first signing for Julen Lopetegui with Guilherme considered an exciting Brazillian talent.
He is still young, and supporters at the London Stadium will need to be patient, but he could become an important player in the years to come for the club.
Now that this signing looks to be wrapped up, Lopetegui will be keen for the club to continue their business and bring in some more ready-made players.
Guilherme is one for the future, but Lopetegui needs players who will be ready for next season.
In other West Ham news, the club want to sign a £16.9million defender.
