West Ham United have made their ninth signing of the summer with the transfer of Lucas Perez.
The 29-year-old striker joins West Ham from Arsenal for an undisclosed fee, agreeing a three-year contract.
"I'm very excited, as West Ham are giving me the chance to stay in the Premier League and I'm very happy to be part of this new project," he told the club's official website.
"West Ham have great fans and play in an amazing stadium, so to sign here brings me great joy. I'm very motivated."
Is this the real life?
