West Ham’s tenth signing is imminent

West Ham have signed former Aston Villa midfielder Carlos Sanchez as their tenth and final signing of the summer bring their total spend to £115m.

He will be officially unveiled at 5 pm on the club website.

Sanchez was a part of the Colombia side that was knocked out of the World Cup by England this summer. The holding midfielder endured a tough tournament, as he was sent off in his country’s opening game with Japan and then gave away a penalty in the defeat to Gareth Southgate’s men.

The Fiorentina midfielder flew in with his agent last night for a medical and signed his paperwork around 3 pm this afternoon.  He joins on a two year deal and not a loan as first thought.

Sanchez has won 88 caps for Colombia and played in the Premier League for Aston Villa between 2014 and 2016. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Espanyol.
