West Ham Shocks Football World with Record-Breaking Signing of Celtic’s Engels – What This Means for the EFL Transfer Market
West Ham have made Arne Engels the most expensive signing in Championship history after completing a £22m move for the Celtic midfielder.
The Belgium international has agreed a five-year contract with the Hammers, who are preparing for their first season in the second tier since 2012 following relegation from the Premier League in May.
The fee surpasses the previous Championship record of £17.5m, paid by Ipswich Town for Norway international Sindre Walle Egeli last summer.
Engels will not be able to make his West Ham debut immediately, however, meaning he will miss Sunday’s opening-day trip to Burnley.
