Deal Done: West Ham Secure Daniel Job In €4 Million Move
LONDON, ENGLAND – West Ham United have reached full agreement to sign highly-rated young winger Daniel Job from Norwegian side Kongsvinger IL Toppfotball for a reported €4 million (£3.4 million), beating off late competition to land one of Scandinavia’s most exciting attacking talents. All terms have been accepted by both clubs and the player, with Job set to travel to England next Tuesday to undergo his medical ahead of the official announcement.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed a breakout 2026 season in the Norwegian First Division, exploding onto the scene with 7 goals and multiple assists in a dazzling run of form that caught the eye of clubs across Europe. His impact was recognised with the Player of the Month award for June–July 2026, a honour voted by fans — and one that revealed his character as much as his quality: he donated the prize money to a cancer charity.
His form was nothing short of sensational. Across five consecutive matches in June and July, Job contributed 6 goal contributions — 2 goals and 4 assists — featuring in every single goal Kongsvinger scored in that spell. He turned in masterclass performances, scoring and assisting in a dominant 5–1 victory over Sogndal Fotball, and finding the net again in a 6–1 rout of Sandnes Ulf. Blessed with blistering pace, quick feet, and a direct style that terrifies defenders, he has drawn comparisons to some of the game’s most electrifying wide players.
West Ham’s recruitment team have tracked Job for months, seeing him as the perfect addition to their attacking options as they push for an immediate return to the Premier League. The club moved decisively to secure his signature, fighting off interest from Serie A side Lecce and others to seal the deal.
“Daniel is an exceptional young talent with huge potential,” a West Ham source confirmed. “He has shown he can produce consistently at a high level, and his attitude — both on and off the pitch — is exactly what we want here. We are delighted he has chosen to join us.”
Job will arrive in London next week to complete formalities before putting pen to paper. A new chapter awaits — and the Hammers believe they have unearthed a star.
