West Ham owner’s son reveals club’s new signing before it has been officially confirmed

A very good addition

Robert Redmond

West Ham United appear to be building a serious team.

Slaven Bilic’s side finished seventh last season and will be playing at London’s Olympic stadium next year.

The Hammers secured the signing of the season – other than N’Golo Kante – last summer when Dimitri Payet joined for a mere £12m, and although it’ll take something special to top that move, this transfer looks like a coup.

Sofiane Feghouli has joined from Valencia on a three year deal. The 26-year-old winger has been with the La Liga club since 2010, and West Ham beat off competition from Inter Milan, Sevilla and Fenerbahce for the Algerian.

However, before the club announced the news, Jack Sullivan, the son of West Ham owner David Sullivan, revealed the transfer on Twitter.
