West Ham have completed the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Sebastien Haller in a club record deal worth £45million.
The French forward, who turned 25 in June, joins the club on a five-year deal with an option of a further 12 months.
"I feel really great,” Haller told whufc.com.
“I think it’s a really good opportunity for me to be here.
"It means a lot (to be record signing). It proves that the club (has) really wanted me for a long time. I felt this desire to sign me and I’m really happy to sign, also. it is an ambitious club, a nice club, a nice city and nice fans too.
"For me I can guarantee that I will give 100% for the club because the club has given me this confidence and I will try to give it back every day in every game.
"I will always give 100% and respect the club. I think this is a normal thing and that I can guarantee. I know it’s a big transfer and there is a lot of expectation around me, and I just want to make people proud of this transfer and I will give everything I have."
Haller scored 19 goals in 39 games for Frankfurt last season, and the deal sees the Hammers break their transfer record for the third time in a year following the arrivals of Issa Diop and Felipe Anderson.
Director of Football Mario Husillos added: “We are very pleased to welcome Sebastien and his family to West Ham United.
“It is no secret that we have been in the process of identifying a top class striker to add to the squad this summer, and much work has gone on behind the scenes to ensure that we were in a position to act once the right opportunity became available.
“Sebastien is a player we have been watching closely for some time - he has always been a key target and someone who myself, Manuel Pellegrini and David Sullivan were very keen to bring to the football club."
