West Ham United have made their fifth signing of the summer.
West Ham United announced the signing of Sead Haksabanovic on Monday.
The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has penned a five-year contract with the Irons and becomes Slaven Bilic’s fifth addition of the summer.
His arrival will come as something of a surprise for a lot of West Ham fans, given there was little to no speculation beforehand, which is quite a rare thing these days.
Haksabanovic, a Montenegro international, joins from Swedish side Halmstads BK and it would be fair to say that he is something of an unknown for now, but some fans of the East London club believe him to be a major talent.
Being only 18, Haksabanovic obviously arrives in England as one for the future.
West Ham boss Bilic has signed only experienced Premier League players – Pablo Zabaleta, Joe Hart, Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic – up to now, so his latest bit of business is certainly a surprise.
The Londoners kick off their league season with a tricky visit to big-spending Manchester United on Sunday.
