Hammers land exciting midfielder

West Ham have signed Montenegro attacking midfielder Sead Haksabanovic.

The 18-year-old joins the Hammers on a five-year contract for an undisclosed fee from Swedish club Halmstads BK, where he became the second-youngest player in Allsvenskan league history in April 2015.

In a statement on the official site he is described as having ”  searing pace, outstanding technical ability and vision and an eye for goal,”

Haksabanovic has already made 70 first-team appearances and made his senior international debut in May.

Speaking to the official site he said: “I’m really happy to be here – it’s a dream come true.

“West Ham is a big club and it is a nice feeling to have signed. The move happened quite fast – we heard that they wanted me, so I was interested to hear the plan for me and when I did I was very pleased.

“I am an attacking player, I like to dribble and shoot, but I work hard for the team. I am really looking forward to getting started, I have watched quite a few West Ham games in the Premier League and I can see that they have some great players and great fans.

“Now I just want to get used to being with the team and then hopefully play some games at some point next season.”
