West Ham United have completed the signing of French striker Sebastien Haller from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
The Hammers paid £45 million for the 25-year-old, making him their new club record signing after he eclipsed the £36 million they paid Lazio for Felipe Anderson’s signature last summer.
West Ham co-owner David Gold took to Twitter to make the announcement to the delight of fans:
I am delighted to announce the arrival of French striker Sebastien Haller, the Club’s new record signing.
The highly sought-after forward, who turned 25 in June, joins the Hammers on a five-year deal with an option of a further 12 months for an undisclosed fee.
