“Yes, the deal is done. Registration is finished.”
Hermansen completed his medical yesterday without any issues and now joins West Ham in a deal worth a reported £18m.
Media duties have already been completed, although the Danish goalkeeper is not expected to feature in today’s friendly against Lille.
A West Ham source has confirmed Hermansen’s signing
The Hammers had been negotiating with Leicester for two weeks, with Graham Potter described as “determined” to land his first-choice target. The signing addresses one of West Ham’s major problem positions, with the 25-year-old set to go straight into contention for the No.1 spot.
The move is being hailed as something of a bargain, given Hermansen’s reported £25m valuation. Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League is understood to have played a key role in driving the price down.
