West Ham has made their first summer signing with Alvarez, as they aim to rebuild their midfield after selling Rice to Arsenal for a hefty fee. The team will kick off their Premier League season against Bournemouth on Saturday at 3pm.
West Ham signed Edson Alvarez from Ajax for £35.4m.
West Ham has made their first signing of the summer transfer window, bringing in Mexico international Alvarez. This comes after the club sold their captain Declan Rice to Arsenal for a hefty sum of £105m.
Ajax has finalized the transfer deal for £32.8m, with an additional £2.6m in add-ons. Alvarez will now join the London Stadium and will wear the No 19 shirt.
“It’s a hugely sentimental moment for me in my career. To join a club like a West Ham is a dream for me and my family.’
“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.”
West Ham manager David Moyes added: “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.
“He’s an experienced international player, who has enjoyed great success for both club and country during his career to date.”
