West Ham agree Obiang deal



The 23-year-old is the first player to join the Irons since the announcement of Slaven Bilic as the east London club's new manager on Tuesday

Obiang made 35 appearances for Sampdoria last season, scoring three goals as the Blucerchiati finished seventh in Serie A to qualify for the Europa League

Obiang is confident he can make a swift transition to the hustle and bustle of top-flight English football.

"We have been talking about this for a long time and now I have finally got the chance to come here," he said on the club's official website, www.whufc.com.

"I am very excited to play in the Premier League.

"It is a style of football that will help me to progress as a player and as a person, so it will be very good."
