West Ham’s next signing is done and dusted, according to in the know journalist Fabrizio Romano this morning who has given the traditional ‘here we go’ confirmation when a deal is agreed by all parties: So West Ham’s summer rebuild continues.

The not so surprising confirmation that Kyle Walker Peters is to become a Hammer is now out in the public domain. After Walker Peters’ flirting with Turkish side Besiktas who pulled the plug as the former Southampton man back pedalled on an deal, West Ham have done what many expected to be the first piece of business this summer and brought in the pacy right sided defender.

According to Romano who announced the agreement on his twitter page, KWP will join “AWB’, ‘JWP’ and ‘JCT’ as a WHU player:

“Kyle Walker-Peters has agreed to join West Ham on three year deal, here we go! After deal off with Besiktas, the fullback accepts to join West Ham as formal steps will follow soon.”

From the old Bobby Moore Upper to the Billy Bonds' stand these days - sometimes- have to admit I have not renewed my season ticket... I've been watching since '03 and a supporter since about 1970..
Favourite player - Dean Ashton: Still watch YouTube repeats of the Cup Final of 2006 hoping in vain that Shaka Hislop grows six inches and stops Steven Gerrard's injury time equaliser. Can tell I'm getting old knowing I saw both Mark Noble's debut and his last game at West Ham.
Pulling on a Claret and Blue replica shirt still makes me feel the same butterflies as when I was seven years old. Magic.

    No attacking midfielder, no back-up striker and now we have 3 left backs..?

  • Mick bering says:

    This is good news for Sullivan But how about a new keeper and striker now whitch we badly need Still skirting around the real promlems

  • John Sharp says:

    Roll out the double-barrels. I wonder if there are any others we can nab.

    A very sensible addition particularly in view of the African Nations Cup, and at the right price too.

  • Hammerry says:

    I’m glad he’s joined and getting him for free is a decent bit of business. Hope to see some exciting players being signed further up the pitch now though please.

  • Wan Beanie says:

    Its DS new recruit, let’s keep the truth shall we?

    • Mr Buddy Lurve says:

      Oh come on, relax. DS might have fancied him, but I cannot see Potter just accepting a new player rolling up to Rush Green having not had any conversations with our chairman about it.
