West Ham United have lost another talent from their academy in Josh Cullen.

The Republic of Ireland international has left the London club to sign for Anderlecht in Belgium.

He has signed a three year contract with Vincent Kompany's team. Anderlecht are reportedly paying €900,000 for the defensive midfielder.

"Josh is a midfielder who combines great running ability with grit and intensity," said Peter Verbeke, Anderlecht's sporting director.

"He is good on the ball, strong in the combination, has a good long ball and is known for his winning mentality and dedication – a real team player."

Cullen joins Jeremy Ngakia and Grady Diagana as Hammers academy graduates to depart the London Stadium in recent months.
