West Ham United defender Thilo Kehrer has completed his permanent transfer to Monaco when the French team exercised an option in his loan deal.
The Premier League club announced the transfer of the defender on their official website.
Despite failing to start in the Premier League for the first half of the season, Kehrer joined Monaco in January and has since developed into a vital member of the Ligue 1 team.
Kehrer’s purchase option was exercised by Monaco, who paid a reported £9.5 million for his services.
In the January transfer window, Kehrer joined the Ligue 1 team on loan from the Premier League club.
Since the move, the German international has made 14 league starts.
Monaco concluded the season with great form, finishing second behind Paris Saint-Germain and guaranteeing their spot in the Champions League next season.
In a statement, the club said: “Everyone at West Ham would like to thank Thilo for his efforts during his time in Claret and Blue, and wish him all the best for the future.”
Thilo Kehrer has left West Ham United.
