West Ham have signed Swiss international Valon Behrami from Lazio for £5 million.

The Irons beat off competition from a number of Premier League and European clubs to sign the talented 23-year-old, who can play as a right back or on the right side of midfield.

Behrami - who has 15 international caps - becomes the Hammers first big-name signing of the summer.

He has put pen to paper on a five-year contract.
