With under two weeks to go until the start of the new 2024/25 Premier League season, West Ham remain one of the busiest teams in this summer transfer window.
Not content with already landing Max Kilman, Luis Guilherme, Wes Foderingham, Crysencio Summerville and Niclas Fullkrug, the Hammers have now officially announced the capture of Argentinian World Cup winner, Guido Rodriguez.
The official club website details technical director, Tim Steidten’s delight at capturing the defensive midfielder.

“This is a massive moment for West Ham United in bringing a player of Guido’s pedigree to the Club. He is a player I have admired for a long time, and we couldn’t be happier to have completed the deal to bring him to east London” he said.
“Guido is a defensive midfielder whose intelligence in and out of possession is a real strength to his game. He is also a proven winner, having won the World Cup, Copa América and Finalissima with Argentina, so to have secured his services is a big statement of intent by the Club.”
Although the new signings will load the pressure on manager, Julen Lopetegui, both he and the supporters can’t now bleat that he wasn’t backed by the club’s board.
So often in the past, fans have had legitimate gripes as to a lack of investment from David Sullivan.
On this occasion, there can be no complaints, and the only issue now is whether Lopetegui can get a tune out of his new players from the get go.
