West Ham have seemingly wasted little time in kickstarting their summer transfer activity after securing Europa League football for next season.
The Hammers finished what was a superb 2020/21 campaign on Sunday with a resounding 3-0 victory over Southampton to seal the sixth spot in the Premier League and David Moyes has already been adding to his ranks.
On Tuesday morning the Hammers confirmed the signing of Thierry Nevers from Championship side Reading on a three-year contract.
The 19-year-old forward will officially sign on Wednesday 9 June, ending nine years in the academy system at the Royals in doing so.
Confirmed by the club’s official website and as cited by West Ham United on Twitter, Nevers will become an Irons ahead of next season.

The teenager is yet to make a first-team bow, instead, scoring 19 times and providing two assists in 65 youth appearances.
This season the versatile Nevers has netted three goals in nine Premier League 2 outings.

Signings are going to be required if West Ham are going to have a squad ready to compete on all fronts next season.
Whilst the starlet may be some way off a role in Moyes’ first-team plans, additional options could prove to be a blessing and perhaps Nevers could offer some rest to the stars in the domestic cup competitions.
