West Ham United have activated the £1m option-to-buy clause in Kieber Lamadrid’s loan agreement, securing the 22-year-old on a permanent deal.
The decision follows internal assessments of his performances during his loan spell, where he impressed coaching staff with consistency, versatility, and development potential.

Though not a headline regular, he has been viewed as a long-term project, fitting the club’s strategy of investing in emerging talent.
Lamadrid is expected to formally complete the move ahead of next season, with paperwork and final arrangements already underway.
West Ham believe the fee represents strong value in the current market and adds depth to their squad options.
The 22-year-old will now look to establish himself more firmly in the first-team picture as competition for places intensifies.
Coaching staff are said to be pleased with his attitude and adaptation since arriving at the club.
The permanent deal signals continued faith in his development pathway at the London Stadium.
Further updates will be communicated once the deal is officially ratified, with the club expected to announce the signing in due course as part of their wider summer planning strategy under the current recruitment team.
It is understood that the move reflects the club’s continued emphasis on smart, low-cost recruitment options that can provide long-term squad value across the Premier League landscape moving forward this summer.
