West Ham have signed defender Kyle Walker-Peters on a free transfer following his departure from Southampton.
The 28-year-old full-back, who has two England caps, has joined the Hammers on a three-year contract.
"He is a player I've always thought highly of and been impressed by whenever he has faced one of my teams," said West Ham manager Graham Potter.
"He has a really good pedigree, a top professional who has established himself as a respected Premier League player and still has his best years in front of him."
Walker-Peters started his career at Tottenham and moved to Southampton on loan in January 2020 before making the switch permanent that summer.
He made 202 appearances for Southampton but, after they were relegated from the Premier League last season, left following the expiry of his contract.
Walker-Peters was on the verge of joining Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas, but the Turkish club said on Thursday they were no longer interested after Walker-Peters delayed his medical following interest from West Ham.
"I spoke to Graham Potter and he was a big, big part of me making the decision," said Walker-Peters.
