West Ham United have announced the signing of French winger Dimitri Payet from Marseille on a five-year deal.
The talented winger was close to sealing a summer move to the Hammers, and it has now been confirmed that the clubs have agreed on a fee above the £8m mark for his transfer.
"West Ham really showed me that they wanted me to come, both the Joint-Chairmen and the manager. That's very important for me. I was also keen to sign up to a clear project. West Ham is very interesting and matches perfectly with my ambitions.
"I'm an attacking footballer so for sure I like attacking football and that they're counting on me to help achieve that gives me a sense of responsibility. The fact that I'm here is also down to that.
"I'm very happy to be here. It's true that it's taken a little while but that's normal, negotiations are like that. But now that it's done, I'm very happy." the 28-year-old told the club's official website.
Payet has earned 14 caps for his national side.
