Southampton captain Jose Fonte has tonight completed an £8million move to West Ham.
The Portugal defender, who was part of his nation's winning Euro 2016 squad, has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal at London Stadium.
Fonte brings a wealth of experience to Slaven Bilic's side, having spent six years as a key member of the South Coast club's defence.
Fonte, who will wear the number 33, will be expected to immediately challenge for a place in the Hammers' starting line up as they attempt to climb the Premier League table.
And Fonte is determined to win a piece of silverware during his spell in east London: “I told the manager in conversations that we want to win and we want to win trophies.
"The ambition is big and we need to aim high. I signed for West Ham because they are a great club and a very big club.
“With the way that West Ham is going we can only look to be challenging in the top eight," Fonte told the club's official website.
Fonte's contract also includes an option to extend his stay for another year.
He has not been registered in time for tomorrow's trip to Middlesbrough but could make his debut in next week's clash against Manchester City.
A statement on Southampton's website read: "Southampton Football Club would like to thank Jose for his service and for his contribution to all the club's achievements in his time here.
"We would also like to wish him well for the future."
Meanwhile, Standard Sport understands Brentford striker Scott Hogan is in contention to feature against Wigan tomorrow, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future.
West Ham have had bids of £10m, £11.5m and £12.5m turned down but the Bees are determined not to let the 24-year-old leave on the cheap.
