West Ham Women confirm loan signing of Denmark international striker from PSV

West Ham Women have announced the arrival of forward Amalie Thestrup on loan from PSV for the remainder of the 2022/23 season, subject to international clearance.

Thestrup will wear the No.14 shirt for the Hammers and joins as the club's third signing of the January transfer window. She follows Anouk Denton and Belgium international Amber Tysiak.

Thestrup began her career in her native Denmark before she made the move to Italy to join Roma in 2019. She spent the 2020/21 season with Liverpool in the Championship, before she joined Dutch side PSV in 2021.

"It feels amazing to join West Ham United,” Thestrup told whufc.com. “I'm really excited to be here, meet the girls and the staff and to get started here in London.

"When joining the club on loan became an opportunity, it was really a no-brainer for me to make the move here. It's a well established Club in the Barclays Women's Super League, which is probably the best league in the world at the moment.

"It's a great opportunity for me to play with and compete against some of the best players on the planet, so I'm super excited to have the opportunity and I can't wait to get started."

She played for her national team Denmark from 2011 when she was part of the U-11 squad. Since 2019, she's made four appearances for the senior team.

West Ham booked their spot in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup with a win over Wolves on Sunday and now prepare to host title challengers Arsenal in the WSL this weekend.
