West Ham have announced the signing of Mads Hermansen from Leicester City. Hermansen has signed a five-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months. Standard Sport understands that the Hammers will pay the Foxes £18million for the Danish goalkeeper, who worked with West Ham’s goalkeeping coach Casper Ankergren at former club Brondby.

West Ham have signed Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen on a five-year deal, the Premier League club announced Saturday. Hermansen will compete with Alphonse Areola, 32, who played 26 times in the Premier League last season.

Mads Hermansen says he believes West Ham are a "good fit" for his style of play after his move from Leicester was confirmed on Saturday. The 25-year-old has signed a five-year contract at London Stadium with a one-year option after departing the Foxes following their relegation to the Championship.
