West Ham sign young Portuguese forward Xande Silva

West Ham United's busy transfer window continued as the Premier League club signed Portuguese forward Xande Silva from Vitoria de Guimaraes on Thursday.

The 21-year-old, who played 26 times in the Portuguese top flight last season, has signed a three-year contract.

"This is a very important moment for me. This is a new experience for me, out of Portugal. I am very happy to be here at West Ham," Silva said on West Ham's website.

Silva joins a host of new signings the club have made since Manuel Pellegrini took charge after the end of last season.
