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.
