Maxwel Cornet: West Ham sign Burnley winger for £17.5m on five-year contract

The signing of Maxwel Cornet is complete.

The 25-year-old has signed a five year contract with a further one year option and will wear the No 14 shirt for the Hammers.

Cornet's medical took place on Friday before he signed his personal terms.

It was thought that West Ham preferred a loan, but the club was prepared to meet the release clause.

It's a new step for me to join this club and I'm really happy to be a part of the project. He said he was excited to begin.

I'm very happy to be here for the next stage of my career because I want to play here for the very high level that everyone knows about.

It will be great to play in front of 62,500 people. I played for West ham last season and I can't wait to get started.

Despite being demoted, Cornet scored nine goals and contributed one assist in 26 appearances forBurnley.

"We are very happy to have Maxwel at West Ham United," David said. He is a versatile player who will add strength and quality to our squad.

He made a big impact with his performances forBurnley last season and he has impressed me with his desire to improve and challenge himself further here at West ham.

We wish Maxwel the best of luck in his career with us.
