West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has snapped up the former Chelsea winger

WEST HAM have completed the signing of winger Daniel Kemp.

 

The highly-rated 16-year-old recently left Chelsea after 10 years at Stamford Bridge.

And he said he was delighted to have joined the Hammers on what the club described as a "long-term contract."

"I’m over the moon to have signed for West Ham," Kemp told the club's official website.

 

"It’s a great club and I can really see a good pathway and a positive culture here.

“Today is a very proud day for myself but also my Dad, Mum and Sister. All I look to do is make them happy.”

The Hammers beat several interested clubs to land his signature.

 

Kemp added: "Speaking to Academy manager Terry Westley, it sounds like they’ve been watching me for a couple of years.

"It was about trying to find the right time to move, now I’m here I’m so pleased and really looking forward to my future.

“I’ve been to the Boleyn Ground a couple of times to watch games, it’s a fantastic stadium, it’s not the biggest but it has a great atmosphere.”
