# West Ham finally land Nuno target as £10m winger deal confirmed

**West Ham United have completed the signing of Edvin Austbø from Viking, finally landing one of Nuno Espírito Santo’s leading attacking targets after a lengthy pursuit.**

The Hammers initially saw an offer worth around £8million rejected earlier this month before returning to negotiations and reaching an agreement with the Norwegian champions.

[The Guardian reports that West Ham have now announced Austbø’s arrival in a deal worth around £10m](https://www.theguardian.com/football/live/2026/aug/31/football-transfer-deadline-day-looms-latest-news-on-gakpo-sarr-and-more-live).

## Austbo gives Nuno explosive West Ham weapon

The 21-year-old arrives with a reputation as a direct and exciting wide attacker.

UEFA describes Austbø as a winger who combines elusive dribbling with the ability to create and finish, having registered six goals and seven assists during Viking’s title-winning 2025 campaign.

West Ham had already [agreed terms with Viking and brought Austbø to London for his medical](https://readwestham.com/2026/08/29/west-ham-agree-edvin-austbo-transfer-deal-viking-winger-medical/), making official confirmation the final step.

His arrival gives Nuno another option alongside Jarrod Bowen and Manor Solomon at a time when West Ham have struggled to consistently threaten Championship defences.

And the recruitment drive is not finished.

The Hammers are also [refusing to give up on Mikel Gogorza after two rejected offers](https://readwestham.com/2026/08/31/west-ham-third-mikel-gogorza-bid/), with a third proposal being prepared for the Midtjylland winger.

Austbø, however, is safely through the door.

**After weeks of negotiations, Nuno finally has the explosive wide option West Ham have been chasing.**
