West Ham United has completed the loan signing of French defender Estelle Cascarino from Juventus Turin. The agreement runs until the end of the 2025/26 season, giving the club a long-term option in defence. Cascarino will wear the number 28 shirt for the London side.
The move brings an experienced player into the Women’s Super League. West Ham coaches see her as a key figure who can help steady the back line and guide younger players in the squad.
Cascarino is under contract with Juventus until June 2027, and she joined the Italian club in the summer of 2023. Since arriving in Turin, she has made 51 appearances in all competitions, showing consistency and fitness over two seasons.
During her spell with Juventus, Cascarino won three major trophies. She helped the team secure the Italian league title, the Coppa Italia, and the Supercoppa Italiana. These honours underline her experience in high-pressure games and her role in successful teams.
Before her move to Juventus, Cascarino played for several leading clubs in French football. Her past teams include Olympique Lyon, Paris FC, Girondins Bordeaux, and Paris Saint-Germain. Each step added to her skills and tactical understanding in defence.
In 2023, she also spent time in England with a loan spell at Manchester United in the Women’s Super League. That experience gave her early insight into English football, its pace, and its physical style, which should help her adapt quickly at West Ham.
Cascarino is also an established France international. She has played 18 matches for the French senior national team, often facing top opponents from around the world. Her caps show the trust coaches place in her at the highest level.
She was part of the France squad at the 2023 World Cup. Playing on that stage gave her valuable experience in big tournaments, which West Ham hopes she will bring into the dressing room and onto the pitch.
For West Ham United, the loan is a chance to add a calm and reliable defender with both club and international experience. Cascarino’s background in title-winning teams and major tournaments can help the side in tight league matches and cup ties.
The move also offers Cascarino regular game time in a strong competition. If she settles well in London, her presence could be important for West Ham’s defence through to the end of the 2025/26 season.
