He explained: “Number eight is special to me because when I was a young player in the Academy at Santos, I wore either the number eight or the number ten shirt.

“I wore the number ten in the first team for Santos, but obviously Manuel Lanzini already has this number here so it is not available

“I am happy to wear the number eight and look forward to wearing it for West Ham in the Premier League.”
