Kehrer is a superb signing for West Ham. The fact that David Moyes brought an established Germany international who played for Paris Saint-Germain to the London Stadium for such a bargain fee is truly unbelievable.

What an incredible addition he will surely prove to be for the club.

He has played more minutes than any other player for Germany since Hansi Flick took over as manager of the national team.

And we think he could end up being one of the signings of the summer…

The 25-year-old is a truly brilliant defender.

He is a centre-back by trade but can also operate in both full-back positions as well as the defensive midfield role.

And Moyes made it very clear why he brought Kehrer to the London Stadium, as quoted by WHUFC.com:

“I am really pleased to welcome Thilo to West Ham United. He’s a talented player, who can play in a number of defensive positions, adding strength and depth to our current options.”

It’s obvious to see that the German’s versatility played a big part in Moyes signing him from PSG.

Kehrer’s arrival means that Moyes is really well covered now across all of the defensive positions.

The 25-year-old will undoubtedly play a big role for West Ham United this season, with so many games coming thick and fast between now and November.

And we think that David Moyes signing Thilo Kehrer for such a minimal fee could end up looking like an absolute masterstroke from the Scot.
