OFFICIAL: West Ham sign Nikica Jelavic from Hull City

West Ham United have signed Croatia striker Nikica Jelavic from Hull City on a two-year contract, with the option of a further two, for an undisclosed fee.

''I am very excited to be signing for West Ham United, especially as it is a big Club and I didn’t know until a couple of days ago that I would have the opportunity to come here,'' the 30-year-old frontman told whufc.com ''Of course it is always a target to play in the Premier League, so when I found out that West Ham wanted me there was no doubt that I wanted to come here. I’ve played for Slaven before for the Croatia national team and he is a great manager and a great man. I am really happy and delighted to be working with him and all his staff again. I’ll be joining a team that’s on a high after the result on Saturday."

Internationally, Jelavic won 36 caps for his country and travelled to UEFA Euro 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but he called time on his Croatia career late last year.
