Eva Nyström joined West Ham United on 25 January 2025, signing a two-and-a-half year contract in east London after leaving Swedish Damallsvenskan side Hammarby IF. 

The defender made over 100 appearances for the Stockholm-based club since arriving in 2021, including matches in the UEFA Women’s Champions League where she faced the likes of holders Barcelona in the group stage of the competition during the first half of the 2024/25 season. 

The defender has also won domestic silverware in Sweden, winning both the Swedish Cup and Swedish top division title in 2023.

Nyström made her competitive debut for Helsinki-based side FC Viikingit at just 15 years old and made the switch to PK-35 Vantaa two years later, where she clinched the Kansallinen Liiga title in 2018.  

The defender then switched allegiances to begin her footballing journey in Sweden with AIK in 2019, scoring eight goals in 26 appearances in the second division, before moving to top-flight side Umeå IK a year later.

On the international stage, Nyström has received 24 caps for Finland, starting every match in their UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 qualifying campaign that saw The Boreal Owls book their place at this summer’s tournament.
