West Ham have confirmed the signing of Emmanuel Emenike on loan from Fenerbahce until the end of the season.
The Hammers have been strongly linked with a move for the Nigerian in recent weeks and on Sunday announced his capture.
Emenike has spent the first half of the campaign at Al-Ain, where he has netted seven goals in 11 league appearances, but will remain with the Hammers until May, who have the option to make his move permanent.
"I am very, very happy and very, very excited that I'm here," Emenike, 28, told West Ham TV.
"I have always known West Ham as a great club. I've always been watching them. West Ham's a great club and I'm happy to be here.
"I've known him (manager Slaven Bilic) for years. When we he was at Lokomotiv Moscow, I was at Spartak Moscow, then he came to Besiktas and I was in Fenerbahce, so we've known each other for a long time. I'm happy to be here and happy to play for him.
"We've followed each other's careers and thank God we are here today and we are here together."
