Hammers land Yossi

West Ham have completed the capture of Israel international Yossi Benayoun for £2.5 million.
The Hammers and Bolton were vying for the 25-year-old's services, but it was Alan Pardew's side who won the race for the former Maccabi Haifa star.
Benayoun, who has signed a four-year deal, is believed to have undergone a medical at Upton Park on Saturday before penning a deal with the East London outfit.
"We are delighted to have signed such a highly-rated player who was being chased by a number of other leading Premiership clubs," said managing director Paul Aldridge to the club's official website.
"I am sure he will become a huge favourite with our fans."
While Benayoun played for Racing Santander last season the fee will not be paid to the club as agents Pini Zahavi and Ronen Katsav recently bought the player for around €3.5 million (£2.4 million).
The Israeli midfielder rejected a move to CSKA Moscow earlier in the summer as he was aiming to clinch a transfer to The Premiership.

See you next time Beex!
Awesome news about Yossi. Very exciting indeed. He also said, "I also spoke with my wife and family, and former West Ham star Eyal Berkovic, who told me not to hesitate in signing for them. Eyal and I are good friends and we have played together for the national team and he always spoke very highly of the club and its supporters."
I dunno, but something about this guy just sits right with me. I think and hope he'll be an awesome success at West Ham United!
