Official: Xande Silva completes West Ham transfer

West Ham have agreed on a deal to sign the highly rated forward Xande Silva.

The agreement has been confirmed on the club’s official website and the 21-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the Hammers.

The Londoners have signed Silva from the Primeira Liga side Vitoria de Guimaraes for an undisclosed fee.

Silva was an important first team member for Vitoria last season and he managed to reach the quarter-finals of the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup with his country as well.

The young forward will join up with the Hammers’ U23 squad and he could make his debut in Friday’s training ground friendly against Watford.
