VIDEO: Enner Valencia gives his 1st West Ham interview after joining Hammers

After several weeks of chasing, West Ham United have finally completed the signing of Enner Valencia from Pachuca.

Valencia made a big name for himself at the World Cup with Ecuador, scoring three goals for his national team as they progressed to the last-16 of the competition.

The deal had been held up over the striker’s need to get a work visa, but those obstacles have now been overcome as Enner Valencia completed a £12 million move to east London while penning a five year contract with the club.

Valencia has now sat down with the Irons’ in-house TV channel to give his first set of quotes after landing at Upton Park. The 25-year-old forward said:

I’m really really, really happy to accept your welcome. I’m excited to be here. I’ve started watching some videos, and I’ve learnt about the club.

I know that the people are really, really fans, so I’m really glad to be here.
