Airidas Golambeckis (born 4 November 2007) is a footballer who plays as a defender for West Ham. Born in England, he is a Lithuania and England youth international.
Golambeckis was born on 4 November 2007. Born in England, he grew up in London, England. [1]
As a youth player, Golambeckis joined the youth academy of Premier League side West Ham at the age of eight [2] and debuted for the club's under-21 team at the age of sixteen. [3] In 2025, he helped their under-18 team win the 2024–25 U18 Premier League Cup and was promoted to their senior team. [4]
Golambeckis is a Lithuania and England youth international. [5] During November 2025, he played for the England national under-19 football team for 2026 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification.
Golambeckis plays as a defender. English newspaper The Guardian wrote in 2024 that "his elegant defending and his ease in possession should stand him in good stead given the growing importance of playing out from the back". [6]
Lithuania international Deimantas Bička said in 2024 that he is "exceptional in his understanding of football, reading of situations, and technical level... a center-back, very calm with the ball. He doesn't seem to stand out in terms of physical data, but he is very intellectual". [5]
