Big-spending West Ham have made highly-rated Portugal starlet Xande Silva their eighth summer signing - and are not done yet.
The 21-year-old forward has put pen to paper on a three-year deal from Portuguese side Vitoria, subject to international clearance.
The £2million capture takes the Hammers’ spending to over £100m mark so far this summer with boss Manuel Pellegrini revamping his squad.
Silva joins the likes of record signing Felipe Anderson, Andriy Yarmolenko, Jack Wilshere, Issa Diop, Ryan Fredericks, Fabian Balbuena and Lukasz Fabilanksi to arrive ahead of the new season.
Silva said: "It’s a big dream of mine to play here in England. This is a club with a big history, with very good fans and I’m very excited to be here.”
It is understood Pellegrini will unleash Silva on his Under-23s squad while closely monitoring his progress.
And the new West Ham manager, along with director of football Mario Husillos, are not finished with their transfer business.
The window closes next Thursday ahead of the new Premier League season and Pellegrini is looking to bring in up to three recruits in time for their opening game against Liverpool at Anfield.
West Ham saw a £27m bid for Celta Vigo’s Uruguay striker Maxi Gomez turned down earlier this week.
The La Liga club want West Ham to meet their £35m valuation.
West Ham remain keen to bring back Joao Mario from Inter Milan following his successful loan spell last season.
But the Italian giants are understood to prefer selling the Portugal World Cup star on a permanent deal.
