West Ham Online

"West Ham United is delighted to announce the signing of Mexico international Edson ?Ålvarez. The 25-year-old has joined the Hammers on a permanent contract until June 2028 for an undisclosed fee, after the Club fought off strong competition from other top European clubs to bring him to London Stadium. A strong and versatile midfielder, ?Ålvarez moves to English football from Dutch club Ajax, where he won two Eredivisie titles, and less than a month after winning his second CONCACAF Gold Cup with Mexico. Capped 69 times by his country, ?Ålvarez has extensive European experience with Ajax and is now looking forward to playing Premier League and UEFA Europa League football with West Ham. ‚ÄúI am very happy and very proud to be here,‚Äù said ?Ålvarez, who speaks fluent English after learning the language during his four-year stay in Amsterdam. ‚ÄúBeing here in London and seeing London Stadium, it‚Äôs amazing. I can‚Äôt wait to play here in front of the West Ham fans. ‚ÄúIt‚Äôs 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. ‚ÄúThe 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.‚Äù Manager David Moyes is looking forward to working with a player who ranked first in ball carry distance and second in pass attempts in the Eredivisie last season. ‚ÄúWe‚Äôre really pleased to add Edson to our squad,‚Äù he said. ‚ÄúThe midfield area was one we were especially keen to strengthen this summer ‚Äì and Edson will complement the other options we have in that department. ‚ÄúHe‚Äôs an experienced international player, who has enjoyed great success for both club and country during his career to date. ‚ÄúWe‚Äôre excited about welcoming to West Ham and seeing him play his part in English and European competition for the Club.‚Äù ?Ålvarez will wear the 19 shirt at West Ham United."

Might be able to scrape a draw against Brighton and Brentford now. :-) Welcome aboard son.

OL?â!!! welcome Edson son

"Excellent signing, Welcome young man!"

"great to see it completed, let's hope the twat uses him in the correct position"

"Ludo21 2:47 Moyes ..speed ..tactics you say , it’s ok I’m pretty sure it’s sarcy."

"Ludo21 2:47 Moyes ..speed ..tactics you say , it’s ok I’m pretty sure it’s sarcy."

bet stupid moyes won't even no how to play him I also post on kumb but they all moyes lovers on there

"Ludo His role should be simple to begin with at least - win the ball, make a simple pass. The pace might be an issue. We will see I guess. He will try at least, it feels like."

‘East London is my home now’ Blatant piss take out of the Judas Rice video at Arsenal Luv it

Be interesting to see if he is involved on Saturday. Only three weeks ago he was playing in a tournament so fitness should not be an issue. Presumably he will train tomorrow and I can't imagine it will take Moyes long to bring him up to speed on tactics.

Welcome Now lets sort the attack out

"Good signing, will be a decent player for us. Unexpected that the dithering Dave's got it completed but happy they did."

twoleftfeet Weren't you on another thread MOANING about people being negative? And then you post that?

Expect his debut to be in November when he is up to speed.

"Came across well in the interview, looks genuinely excited to be here. Hope all goes well for him."

"Welcome El Machin Not my first choice, but will give his all, and will add a whole lot of bite. All in here it seems and let's give him some like what he gets at the Azteca."

"Welcome Edson, I hope your time at the West Ham is successful."

Have to laugh at those videos they come up with.

The flag thing looked like he had died in the medical

Good to hear that he's fluent in English. I guess that's the benefit of buying a south American who's been playing in Holland rather than Spain or Italy.

"Nice. I guess he'll not be involved until Chelsea at the earliest, but looks to be a good signing."

Welcome Ed son!
