As announced on the Hammers’ official website, the London club had to pay the Tigers a transfer fee of £10.2 million in order to secure the services of the 29-year-old winger.
Former Liverpool defender Thompson has suggested that West Ham should not have signed Snodgrass.
“I can’t understand why West Ham have signed him because he has got a bad back, hasn’t he?” said Thompson on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News HQ on Saturday afternoon (broadcast from 12pm, January 28).

“He has been missing for the last couple of games because of this really bad back, so he might be able to play for maybe a couple of months.”
Snodgrass scored seven goals and created 45 chances in 20 Premier League appearances for Hull before his move to the Hammers.
The Scotland international winger scored three goals and created 62 chances in 27 Championship matches for the Tigers during the 2015-16 campaign.
West Ham are 10th in the Premier League table at the moment with 28 points from 22 matches.
The Hammers will return to action on Wednesday evening when they take on Manchester City at the London Stadium in the league.
