West Ham complete Pogatetz move

The Hammers have completed the signing of former Middlesbrough defender Emmanuel Pogatetz from German side Wolfsburg. The 30-year-old initially joins on loan.

West Ham have been busy signing players this month, and have already brought in Brazilian forward Wellington as well as Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh.


"I feel very good to be here and I am very excited about playing for West Ham," said Pogatetz.


The Hammers have the option to make the player's move permanent at the end of the year.
