The news that West Ham United are close to sealing a €30m transfer for Brazilian wonderkid Luis Guilherme marks a significant moral victory for Director of Football, Tim Steidten. During his first 12 months at the club, Steidten has had to navigate a patient waiting game, often not fully in charge of transfers.
While he made a notable impact with the signing of Mohammed Kudus, Steidten faced challenges, such as the inability to recruit any players in the January window despite clear needs for additional attackers for Premier League and European fixtures. This window closed quietly with David Moyes prioritizing the signing of Kalvin Phillips instead.
Steidten joined from Bayer Leverkusen with a mandate to revamp West Ham's transfer dealings. He encountered a delicate situation with an old-fashioned manager suspicious of the continental system he was brought in to implement. However, Steidten's patience and long-term vision have seen off both Moyes and Rob Newman.
The imminent signing of Luis Guilherme, a move unlikely under Moyes, is a testament to Steidten's influence. This transfer clearly indicates that the times are changing at West Ham, with Steidten firmly in control of player acquisitions.
For too long, Hammers fans have been uncertain about who sanctioned which signings. Now, it's evident that Steidten has identified and negotiated the transfer of Guilherme, signaling a new era for West Ham United.
