West Ham want more wingers after Luis Guilherme

The Irons and Julen Lopetegui have already added to their attacking ranks this summer, with winger Luis Guilherme officially becoming the first signing of the era. Technical director Tim Steidten was the one who pushed a deal for the 18-year-old and was delighted at securing Guilherme’s services, giving West Ham fans an idea of what to expect from their new signing.

“He is technically very gifted, but also has very good physical qualities – great pace, strength and stamina, and these are traits that will help him to adapt to the demands of the Premier League and English football.

“Luis is obviously still very young, but we have no doubt that he is ready to make an impact in the first team here. He is coming to a great environment, where he will be surrounded by other exciting young players and good people who will support him every step of the way.”

After Guilherme, West Ham, who have also signed goalkeeper Wes Foderingham on a free transfer, look like they want more additions in the final third.

The Hammers recently made bids to sign former Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, who is now at Galatasaray, and Fluminense forward Jhon Arias. More recently, West Ham have held talks to sign Lille striker Jonathan David and have also made it clear they are willing to sign Genoa forward Albert Gudmundsson.
