Rat attack! Hammers seal deal for Romanian defender

West Ham have signed Romania captain Razvan Rat on a free transfer, after negotiations with the player's representatives reached a satisfactory conclusion this afternoon.

Hammers co-chairman David Sullivan's son Jack tweeted this afternoon, 'Just signed the Romanian captain RAZVAN RAT, the first of 4 to 6 Summer signings #COYI #WHU #whufc'.

The 31 year old's agent told the Romanian press earlier this month that he and his client had had meetings with the Irons and now Rat, who can play at right back or centre half, has put pen to paper on a permanent deal which will see him move to Upton Park and officially become a West Ham player when the transfer window reopens next month.

Official confirmation of the deal is expected from the club in the next 24 hours.
