Hermansen set for West Ham move

West Ham and Leicester City have agreed a £12 million deal to sign Denmark under-21 goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, as the East London side look to add competition to their goalkeeping ranks ahead of the new Premier League season. Hermansen, relegated with the Foxes last year, has informed his agent that he would like to stay the top flight and the Hammers will likely complete a deal next week.

The 25-year-old arrived at Leicester City from Brondby in 2023 and eventually forced his way into the club’s number 1 jersey. Last season, despite Leicester City’s relegation, Hermansen did impress sufficiently for the Irons to table a transfer offer this summer.

Hermansen is wanted by West Ham as he is known for his ball-playing passing skills, something that manager Graham Potter is seeking from his first-choice goalkeeper. Potter also hopes to apply pressure on current keeper Alphonse Areola and hopes the arrival of Hermansen will provide useful competition.

There are currently no other clubs interested in the Dane, and therefore West Ham will likely get a deal over the line at the beginning of next week.
