(MENAFN) West Ham United officially announced on Sunday the acquisition of England international Kyle Walker-Peters, who has signed a three-year contract following his exit from Southampton.
The 28-year-old defender, capped twice by England’s senior team, arrives at the London Stadium after a five-year tenure at Southampton’s St Mary’s Stadium, where he featured in more than 200 matches.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Walker-Peters expressed enthusiasm about joining West Ham: “It feels like it has been a long time coming. I’ve been linked with a move to the Club in the past, and I’m just happy to be here now.”
He further shared his competitive mindset: “I like to play with intensity, give my all in every game, and I want to try and achieve special things here.”

By the conclusion of the 2024–25 season, Walker-Peters has amassed 148 appearances in the Premier League.
West Ham’s first league encounter of the season is scheduled for August 16 against Sunderland.
