Haller sealed his switch, on a five-year-deal worth around £70,000-a-week, after helping shoot German club Eintracht Frankfurt to the Europa League semi-finals last season. “Sebastien is a player we have been watching closely for some time - he has always been a key target and someone who myself, [manager] Manuel Pellegrini and [co-owner] David Sullivan were very keen to bring to the football club. (Image: AFP/Getty)His signing tops the £42m that West Ham spent to get Brazil forward Felipe Anderson from Italy's Lazio last summer. It is an ambitious club, a nice club, a nice city and nice fans too. I know it’s a big transfer and there is a lot of expectation around me, and I just want to make people proud of this transfer and I will give everything I have.”
