West Ham United have signed midfielder Edson Alvarez from Ajax.
The 25-year-old has agreed a five-year deal with West Ham and will wear the No 19 shirt.
“I am very happy and very proud to be here. It’s a hugely sentimental moment for me in my career. To join a club like West Ham is a dream for me and my family,” Alvarez told the club’s official website.

“The Premier League is a special league, the best league in the world and I think my style will suit it.
“I now have a responsibility to West Ham and the West Ham family and I will give absolutely everything for the shirt.”
Manager David Moyes added: "We’re really pleased to add Edson to our squad. The midfield area was one we were especially keen to strengthen this summer, and Edson will complement the other options we have in that department.”
