West Ham United have endured a disappointing campaign so far, with David Moyes under real pressure with the club slipping into the Premier League relegation zone having won just five league matches this term.

Several big-money signings just haven’t worked out for the club, with Gianluca Scamacca scoring just seven times across all competitions since arriving for a fee of £35.5m in the summer, while Brazilian Lucas Paqueta - who has only four league goal involvements to his name - has yet to showcase the form of a £51m player, having become West Ham’s record signing last year.

There hasn’t been much to shout about for the West Ham faithful, although there has been one summer signing that has made a solid impression since joining the club, while also seeing his value more than double in just over six months – Thilo Kehrer.

How much is Thilo Kehrer worth now?

The German centre-back joined the Irons last summer for a fee of £10.1m from French giants Paris Saint-Germain and with Moyes looking to add some more quality to his threadbare squad, it looked like it could prove to be a wise investment.

Roshane Thomas certainly thought so, saying that Kehrer was a “brilliant addition” to the team while lauding his versatility, and although the club have struggled domestically, the 26-year-old has enjoyed a solid start to life in England.

His performances in the Premier League this season have seen him rank third for pass success rate (85%), fourth for clearances made (2.6) and interceptions (1.3) per game, and sixth for tackles made (1.7), among his new teammates, showing that he has settled in well.

Germany manager Hansi Flick has dubbed him a “complete” player and these stats certainly back up his all-round effectiveness from the centre of the defence.

Having signed for just over £10m, Football Transfers now value him at €25.1m (£22.1m) which works out as a 120% rise on their initial investment. Considering he has been at the club for just over six months plus the fact he has had to settle into life in a new league, West Ham have clearly struck gold on Kehrer.

The defender still has plenty to give and this value will only continue to rise, especially if his performances improve and the club can avoid relegation.

Despite it largely being a season to forget for all involved with the club, Kehrer’s valuation increase proves that Moyes still does know how to sign a player that could potentially generate a major profit for West Ham in the future.
