West Ham have signed Brazilian wonderkid Luis Guilherme, and the usual media shenanigans can be expected as early as tomorrow.
Fabrizio Romano has tweeted within the last hour on social media to announce that all documents have been signed and Guilherme is now a West Ham player.
Of course, Guilherme’s transfer can’t be ratified until his club Palmeiras sends the registration and the transfer window officially opens. However, it is understood that all the official paperwork has been completed.
Speaking on his X account, ITK Romano said: “Luis Guilherme has signed all the documents and he can be considered a new West Ham player, strongly wanted by Tim Steidten. Here we go, confirmed.”
The news that Steidten was the architect of the move was something the club was happy to share with Claret & Hugh last week when a top source at the club told us how hard the Hammers’ director of football had been working to complete the deal.
