Haller grateful for Hammers chance
Sebastien Haller says it means a lot to be West Ham's record signing and he will give everything to be a success at the London Stadium.
The striker moves from Eintracht Frankfurt on a five-year deal understood to be in the region of £45m.
He was a success in the Bundesliga scoring 20 goals in 41 appearances for the German side last season, Eintracht Frankfurt finishing seventh in the league and reaching the semi-finals of the Europa League.
I just want to make people proud of this transfer and I will give everything I have.

He told West Ham's official website that the move represents a great opportunity for the 25-year-old.
He said: "It means a lot (to be the record signing). It proves that the club [has] really wanted me for a long time. I felt this desire to sign me and I'm really happy to sign.
"I will always give 100% and respect the club. I think this is a normal thing and that I can guarantee. I know it's a big transfer and there is a lot of expectation around me, and I just want to make people proud of this transfer and I will give everything I have."
Haller's arrival is the third time the Hammers have broken their transfer record in the space of a year following the arrivals of Issa Diop and Felipe Anderson.
The Hammers squad are currently in the Far East competing in the Premier League Asia Trophy, taking on Manchester City on Wednesday.
On their return to Europe the Hammers play pre-games against Fulham and Hertha Berlin and a home game against Athletic Bilbao.
The Hammers start the new Premier League season on 10th August with last season's title winners Manchester City the visitors to the London Stadium.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are 10/1 to start off with a win with City 1/4 and the draw 19/4.
The Hammers are 12/1 to finish in the top six in the Premier League next season with Leicester City priced at 4/1.
