West Ham have reached an agreement with Botafogo for the signing of John Victor. The Premier League side will pay Botafogo €10 million. Personal terms are not an issue, as John Victor agreed to join West Ham last week.
John is expected to become West Ham’s starting goalkeeper, with Alphonse Areola likely to serve as backup.
The Hammers are getting a quality goalkeeper in John Victor—arguably one of the best in South America. He was crucial to Botafogo’s Copa Libertadores and Brazilian Serie A triumphs in 2024 and was named in the Team of the Tournament in both competitions. He is a prime example of a modern-day goalkeeper, comfortable playing out from the back with his feet.
