West Ham is off to a strong start to its transfer window. The Hammers have just got their hands on Luis Guilherme, great Brazilian hope at the right winger position. To secure the services of the Palmeiras player, the Premier League team had to pay 30 million euros. The 18-year-old Brazilian signs a five-year contract with the London team.

Once courted by AS Monaco, the striker chose the Premier League and Julen Lopetegui’s team. A joy for someone who only played 18 professional matches: “I am very happy to sign with West Ham United, a club who have placed their trust in my work. The head coach and I have already had a conversation. He showed me his project and I think I will learn a lot from him. He has coached at national level in Spain and managed major clubs. The Premier League is the best league in the world. I think I will improve a lot here with the whole West Ham staff, which is crucial for my development”.
