Kyle Walker-Peters has joined West Ham on a free transfer after leaving Southampton. The right-back/left-back was previously set to move to Besiktas, but the Turkish club backed out due to medical delays. He has signed a three-year contract with West Ham. Walker-Peters expressed excitement about joining and appreciated the family atmosphere described by coach Graham Potter. He aims to contribute to West Ham's ambitions to win trophies after a disappointing season where the club finished 14th in the Premier League.
I'm really excited. 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 spoke about the family feel at the club, and that's what I'm all about. I'd like to think I'm going to be a good fit for West Ham.
I like to play with intensity, give my all in every game, and I want to try and achieve special things here. Every team wants to win trophies and West Ham have that ambition.
Walker-Peters started 33 Premier League games last season but was part of a Southampton team that amassed just 12 points, almost matching Derby County's record for the fewest points in a season.
