West Ham have signed winger Adama Traore from Fulham in a deal worth up to £2m. The 30-year-old joins the Hammers until the end of the season, with an option for a further year, reuniting with manager Nuno Espirito Santo, who previously coached him at Wolves. Traore has been capped eight times by Spain and made just two Premier League starts for Fulham this season. He expressed excitement about the move, saying he wants to help the team and improve as a player.
Traore began his career at Barcelona and has had spells at Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, and Wolves, joining Fulham in 2023 on a free transfer. West Ham have been active in the January transfer window, also signing Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos, while negotiating the sale of Lucas Paqueta and having already sold Guido Rodriguez and Luis Guilherme. Despite recent wins, the club remains in the Premier League relegation zone, five points from safety with 15 matches left.
