Dele Alli shares video as West Ham transfer officially announced
West Ham have been assessing their attacking options for next season as Graham Potter looks to add more depth to his side.
The Hammers have so far been linked with moves for the likes of Harvey Elliott and Jack Grealish as they look to use some of the £55million from the sale of Mohammed Kudus.
Meanwhile, the Irons have now completed the signings of El Hadji Mallick Diouf and Kyle Walker-Peters, after a slow start to business.
Dele Alli has now reacted to the transfer latest news from the London Stadium.
Alli shares Walker-Peters announcement video
West Ham managed to hijack a move for ex-Southampton wingback Walker-Peters after he looked set to sign for Besiktas.
The defender was one of the few positives in the Saints’ relegated squad last season and elected not to renew his contract.
In an Instagram story (22 July), former Tottenham midfielder, Alli, reposted the announcement video of his ex-teammate joining West Ham.

Last season, the Irons were loosely linked with the former prodigy after his contract with Everton had expired.
Alli was promising in Spurs colours before his form fell off a cliff towards the end of his tenure.
He was unable to recapture his form under Frank Lampard at Everton and now spends his time at Italian side Como, where he struggles to get a game.
West Ham fans will be hoping that Walker-Peters doesn’t meet the same fate after leaving the side he spent five years with.
Walker-Peters will perform for the Hammers
Throughout his time in the Premier League, Walker-Peters has been consistently regarded as a reliable defender.
The 28-year-old also offers much-needed versatility as he can cover both sides in defence, favourably in a back five, like Potter has played.
By beating Besiktas to the free signing, the Hammers have made a very smart move.
With Emerson Palmieri keen on a move away this summer, the Hammers could end up making a profit on his sale, after replacing him with Walker-Peters.
In the modern-day era of PSR, it’s good to see some smart deals being concluded.
