West Ham signs Frenchman

West Ham have signed French star Julien Faubert from Bordeaux for a reported £6.1m. The Hammers beat Roma and Rangers to land the 23-year-old.

Hammers chairman Eggert Magnusson told the club's official website: "I am delighted to welcome Julien to Upton Park and feel sure that he will become a very successful signing for the club.

"He is one of the most highly-rated young players in European football and many clubs were attempting to sign him, so we are very pleased that he has decided to join West Ham United.

"I have been very impressed by his desire and ambition and I think he will be very popular among our supporters."

The midfielder has signed a five-year contract with West Ham.
