Graham Potter was in need of goalkeeper reinforcements this summer following the departure of long-serving Łukasz Fabiański.

Hermansen, a Danish youth international, made the move to England from Brøndby in his homeland in the summer of 2023 and went on to make 72 appearances for the Foxes over the course of two seasons.

He becomes West Ham’s fifth senior arrival of the summer, following the signings of Kyle Walker-Peters, Callum Wilson, El Hadji Malick Diouf and Jean-Clair Todibo earlier in the window.
