OFFICIAL: West Ham announce the signing of Flynn Downes

After a good season with a seventh-place finish in the Premier League, the West Ham board began work on putting together a squad for the second half of the year, where one of their main objectives will be the UEFA Conference League.

The London club surprised everyone by confirming the arrival of a new signing for David Moyes' side on Thursday.

Through social media, the Hammers' board welcomed Flynn Downes, a 23-year-old midfielder who comes from Swansea City in the Championship.

"It’s a surreal feeling to have joined my boyhood Club. I feel like I’m dreaming. It’s been my dream since I was a little boy to join this Club - it’s an absolute privilege. This is my Club, so I couldn’t be more delighted. I’m glad to be here and I can’t wait to get started." the player told the club's official website.

In the same vein, he added: “I want to be the best I can be and this feels like the perfect opportunity to test myself against the very best players in the Premier League. Players have come to West Ham from the Championship and progressed to international honours. That’s something you can’t ignore.
