West Ham have kicked off the Julen Lopetegui epoch by snagging youthful prodigy Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras, with the deal set to seal this Friday.
At 18, Luis has inked a five-year tenure with the London squad and will officially join once the transfer window swings open.
The lad, a Brazil under-20 star, isn’t a stranger to success, boasting a Brazilian Serie A championship and Copa Libertadores outings with Palmeiras.
Acclaimed as a bright spark in South American football, he’s ecstatic about realizing his childhood ambition of playing in England.
“Joining West Ham United is a dream come true. They’ve placed their faith in me,” Luis Guilher Medical affirmed. “If all goes well, we’re set for an epic voyage.”
“The gaffer and I have chewed the fat already. He’s briefed me on his vision, and it’s clear I’ll be gathering heaps of knowledge from him. His resume includes steering big-league clubs and the Spanish national team,” he added.
“The Premiership is top-tier. Here, I’m poised to refine my abilities with West Ham’s stellar crew, pivotal for my growth.”
“Since boyhood, the English game has captured my imagination. To now be part of it is surreal. This dream sprouted when I was just 11, and it’s now morphing into reality,” he reflected.
