West Ham United have announced the signing of striker Albian Ajeti from Basel.

The 22-year-old Switzerland international has signed a four-year contract, with an option to extend for a further two seasons, after arriving for an undisclosed fee.

Ajeti scored 14 goals in 32 matches in the Swiss Super League last season, and has already netted twice in his three fixtures so far this term in all competitions.

"Once I felt West Ham's interest, I didn't have to think twice about signing for such a big, traditional club in the Premier League," he told the club's official website.

Director of football Mario Husillos added: "Our scouts have watched him many times and given very good reports. He is an aggressive, quick striker who likes to play in the box."
