The Hammers have already signed Danish defender Frederick Alves for £1.5m and he is now an official player from today.

The promising Denmark U21 international agreed to join West Ham from Danish club Silkeborg, where he has spent the past three-and-a-half years and made 48 senior appearances. The 6’2 centre-back has signed a contract with the Irons until the summer of 2024.

David Moyes revealed his winters transfer plans to reporters back in December.

He insisted he wants to keep on pushing and improving but there will not be mass signings incoming this January.

He told reporters: “Will I be able to or will we be able to get what we want? I’m not sure. I’ll be saying the same thing as I said this time last year.

If we can and we think there is something available the owner would try and do it but obviously like everybody else we’re in a difficult situation financially, like all clubs. We won’t be daft. I want to keep pushing, I want to keep trying to improve but I have to say we will be linked with every man and their dog.

The truth is we won’t be signing every man and their dog, we’ll only be signing players who I think are right for the club. Players who are hungry and fit what we need. I can only say we will try and improve if it is out there and we can do it, ones who can make an impact like we have got recently.”

Asked whether he had a transfer target list or idea what his priorities were he was coy saying injuries were a factor in his decisions adding

“I think that is quite fluid at the moment because injuries can play a part in it. We’ve lost Antonio and all of a sudden we’ve lost Arthur so we’re starting differently from where other things might have been on your mind. We’ve just got to be fluid, ready to change with it. This time of year with the amount of games you have got you tend to pick up more injuries so what I might want now might be different come three weeks time or before the end of the window.

I would be surprised if we’re out making big signings, I don’t think that will be the case”
