West Ham have bolstered their defensive options by signing Joel Veltman on a free transfer, according to BBC News.
The 34-year-old Dutch defender arrives after his release from Brighton, where he became a reliable presence in Roberto De Zerbi's and previous regimes' backlines. Veltman began his career at Ajax, where he came through the academy and won multiple honours before moving to the Premier League with Brighton in 2020.
Known for his versatility across defence and composure on the ball, Veltman brings a wealth of top-flight experience to West Ham as they look to strengthen their squad depth. No further details on contract length were disclosed in the report.
