West Ham United transfer news as Luis Guilherme documents update emerges
Luis Guilherme can be considered a West Ham player as he has signed all the pre-transfer documents, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist took to Twitter on 12 June to reveal the news and he also added his signature “Here we go” suggesting that everything that needs to be done is done.
The deal is now subject to an official announcement with the Palmeiras striker set to be the first signing of the Julen Lopetegui era.
The initial fee is £19.4million and there are add-ons worth £5.9million added to the deal.
Via Twitter, Romano wrote: “Luis Guilherme has signed all the documents and he can be considered new West Ham player, strongly wanted by Tim Steidten. Here we go, confirmed.”
West Ham fans must be excited by the transfer of Luis Guilherme
The 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder is considered one of the most promising talents in South America, known for his flair, creativity and versatility.
His arrival at the Hammers signals a significant investment in the club’s future, as they look to build a team capable of finishing in the European spots before eventually looking to be considered among the elite teams in the country.
For the first season, expectations should be tempered with realism.
Guilherme is young and will need time to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League.
Fans should look for him to gradually integrate into the team, showing flashes of his potential and contributing positively to the team’s performances.
As the season progresses, the teenager could become a key player, providing the creativity and attacking impetus that the London outfit sometimes lacks.
Ultimately, the hope is that he will develop into a star player, justifying the club’s significant outlay and exciting the fans for years to come.
