Michail Antonio has signed for West Ham for from Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed fee believed to be worth £6.5 million.
The winger has joined from Championship side Forest on a four-year deal with the option of two further years and is Slaven Bilic’s third signing of a busy transfer deadline day for the Hammers.
Victor Moses and Nikica Jelavic have already put pen to paper, with Moses joining on a season-long loan and Jelevic arriving from Hull City for around £3m.
Antonio has been continually linked with the Hammers and the deal had hit a stumbling block earlier today when the clubs failed to agree on the payment for the 25-year-old.

But the former Reading and Sheffield Wednesday man has now signed to become the 11th new man through the door at Upton Park this summer.
Antonio has already bagged four goals for Forest this season in just five appearances, and was on target 15 times in 49 appearances last campaign.
