"West Ham is a club with a lot of tradition, lots of great players have played here, like Bobby Moore, Carlos Tevez and Di Canio.


"They were great players and idols here, and I’m aiming big, who knows, maybe I could hit their heights and be a legend here too. I'm really happy to be here. It's a dream come true.



"I want to thank the owner, David Sullivan, because he made a big effort to bring me here.


"I know how difficult it was, so I have to thank him a lot, and I hope I can repay his faith in me on the pitch with goals and winning games."


Director of football Mario Husillos is delighted with the addition and insists Anderson's arrival is a real statement of intent from the East London club.
