"It feels amazing to join West Ham United,” Thestrup told whufc.com. “I'm really excited to be here, meet the girls and the staff and to get started here in London.
"When joining the club on loan became an opportunity, it was really a no-brainer for me to make the move here. It's a well established Club in the Barclays Women's Super League, which is probably the best league in the world at the moment.
"It's a great opportunity for me to play with and compete against some of the best players on the planet, so I'm super excited to have the opportunity and I can't wait to get started."
She played for her national team Denmark from 2011 when she was part of the U-11 squad. Since 2019, she's made four appearances for the senior team.
West Ham booked their spot in the fifth round of the Women's FA Cup with a win over Wolves on Sunday and now prepare to host title challengers Arsenal in the WSL this weekend.
