West Ham United are bracing up for the upcoming summer transfer window. They might be looking at several positions to strengthen for the upcoming season. They would want to have a better season next year and one area that they might be looking to improve on is the defensive backline and the full-back position.
The long-term futures of Vladimir Coufal, Aaron Cresswell, and Emerson Palmieri are unclear at the club. Football Insider has reported that the Hammers have been keeping tabs on Kyle Walker-Peters, the versatile full-back for Southampton and want to sign him in the summer transfer window.
West Ham United want to sign Kyle Walker-Peters
The 27-year-old has been performing really well for Southampton after moving from Tottenham. He has conceded 59 goals and kept two clean sheets in 27 matches in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. That means when Walker-Peters is on the pitch, his team concedes a goal every 40 minutes. He has also assisted two goals in 27 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season.
The player has entered the last few months of his contract and the report has stated that Southampton could be ready to let him leave this summer for a decent price as his club is also on the brink of relegation. The player wants to continue playing in the Premier League and does not view staying a Southampton as good for his future.
Will the move be beneficial for the Hammers?
West Ham United should absolutely sign Kyle Walker-Peters in the summer of 2025—it’s a no-brainer. With his contract expiring at Southampton, he’s a free transfer, saving the club millions. At 27, he is in his prime, offering pace, and versatility across both full-back roles, and Premier League nous. With Coufal ageing and Emerson’s future uncertain, Walker-Peters brings dynamism and depth. It’s a smart, cost-effective move to boost the Hammers’ European ambitions.
