West Ham CONFIRM the signing of German defender Thilo Kehrer from Paris Saint-Germain for £15m – with David Moyes’ side adding their sixth summer signing

West Ham have announced the signing of defender Thilo Kehrer from Paris Saint-Germain. 

The German centre back, 25, becomes the Hammers’ sixth summer signing after signing a four-year contract with an option to extend by a further two seasons.

He said: ‘I’m very excited to sign for West Ham United. This is the best league in the world and I’m excited about coming to play in the Premier League. 

‘I talked to the manager and he told me about how he sees me fitting in at the club. My biggest goal now is to get into the team, integrate myself within the group and enjoy playing for West Ham.’ 

Kehrer, who made 128 appearances in all competitions for the French giants in his four seasons at the club – including 34 last campaign – has moved for an initial fee of £15million.

Manager David Moyes added: ‘I am really pleased to welcome Thilo to West Ham United. 

‘He’s a talented player, who can play in a number of defensive positions, adding strength and depth to our current options.’
