West Ham United sign young Venezuela winger Keiber Lamadrid on loan



West Ham United is pleased to announce the signing of promising young Venezuela international winger Keiber Lamadrid on loan for the rest of the 2025/26 season.

The 22-year-old arrives from Venezuelan Super Cup holders Deportivo La Guaira, with an option to make the transfer permanent in the summer.

Lamadrid, who has not played competitively since the 2025 Liga FUTVE season concluded in early December, will initially continue his physical conditioning with the Club’s medical team, having only recently commenced a pre-season schedule.

Born in Caracas, Lamadrid earned his first senior cap for Venezuela in November. He has played over 100 times for Deportivo La Guaira since debuting at the age of 18 and was named Best Under-23 Player in the Venezuelan top-flight for the 2025 season.The exciting young attacker is looking forward to continuing his development with the Hammers. “It's an incredible opportunity to be here at this beautiful Club,” he said. “I thank God first of all, and all the people who helped me get here. I also thank my family, who always supported me. For me, it's a dream to be here.“I'm excited to grow as a person, as a player, and I want to do well at this Club. I want to adapt as quickly as possible, to continue growing as a player and open doors again for Venezuelan football. Nothing is impossible.”Everyone at West Ham United would like to welcome Keiber to East London and wish him the very best for his career in Claret and Blue.

Brilliant, a loan punt on a tren de aragua no mark Sullivan scouted through YouTube

Good god will we ever learn and wake up and smell the coffee.
We need players that are oven ready not the slow cooker type.

 

 

Well, we should have been looking at players like this (but let's be honest with a bit more research behind it rather than Sullivans mate calling him) 2-3 years ago so they'd be ready now to make an impact. Instead we went after expensive has beens or never weres.

NOW when we really need experienced players who can hit the ground running and immediately make an impact, Sullivan chooses this moment to take a total punt on an unknown. As usual the exact opposite of what's needed. Why not a bargain basement winger from the arse end of nowhere who won't even be match fit for weeks and likely won't ever play for us or a big commanding centre back or experienced forward.

Beggars belief.

Analytics United looked at his "numbers". Basically non-exceptional in any area....just "above average" across the board.

They also made the point that we've shipped out talented youth like Earthy to make space for someone to come in from abroad whose been playing in the equivalent of the conference.

This lad is more likely to be Wellington Paulista than the next coming of Rivaldo. But good luck to him....great opportunity for him to train with high calibre players in a way he probably never dreamed of.

"High Calibre Players"

Fnarr! Fnarr!

p.s - If he's conference level at least Kilman will feel at home marking the kid in training

Been to La Guaira many times, wasn't much going on there as I remember?

Not ready to play for a while...... why waste a loan spot on this kid?  Just buy him for £1m 

It suggests that even Sullivan isn’t confident enough in this kid not being utter shit to invest a million. 

And that there’s nothing better coming in in any sort of number. I mean we are apparently about to waste our second PL loan by swapping backup keepers with another team. What a fucking farce Sullivan is leading. 

This place ain’t run like a circus any more. Bet Noble rues those words with every fiber of his being when he looks back.

Got a good feeling about this kid.

He could be the difference ⚒

[El Scorchio]

The season is saved. Thank you oh generous one David Sullivan for signing a top player to pull us up the table when we really really needed one. What a vital signing at this critical time for us. You really have our needs and priorities correct. 

Nothing against the kid though and I hope for him he has a good experience here. 

[eusebiovic]

It would be better if he was called La Coruña but I won't hold it against the boy...if he's any good!

Carry on Up The Keiber...does Sid James laugh..
