West Ham United have signed Switzerland defender Nadine Riesen following her departure from Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/b><\/p>\n
She joins on a three-year contract after making 69 appearances for the German club in the Frauen-Bundesliga between 2023 and 2026.<\/p>\n
The versatile 26-year-old full-back has experience of playing in the Women’s Champions League (WCL) and has 42 caps for her country.<\/p>\n
She becomes West Ham manager Rita Guarino’s fourth signing this summer after the arrivals of Katie Zelem, Constance Picaud and Laia Codina.<\/p>\n
“When I heard about West Ham’s interest in me, I was super excited. It’s a huge club with a proud history and I’m very happy to be here,” said Riesen.<\/p>\n
“It already feels like a family here and everyone has given me such a warm welcome since I arrived.<\/p>\n
“The Women’s Super League is one of the best leagues in the world so this is a massive opportunity for me to continue my development in a new environment, challenge myself and keep doing what I love most.<\/p>\n
“I really like Rita’s ambition for the team. There is a lot of potential within this group and I hope that together we can achieve great things.”<\/p>\n
Riesen made her international debut in 2019 and featured in all four of Switzerland’s matches at Euro 2025, scoring against Norway on home soil.<\/p>\n
Guarino said: “She is a full-back with pace and attacking quality that will complement our playing style.<\/p>\n
“Nadine works extremely hard for the team and has a never-say-die attitude, which is something that we value within this group.<\/p>\n
“Over the last few years, she has grown into an important player for her national team and that experience will be really valuable for us.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
