Diamanti Signing Confirmed

West Ham have confirmed the signing of Alessandro Diamanti on a permanent deal from Livorno.

Although there is some debate whether he is an out and out striker, or more of an attacking midfielder’ Diamanti scored 18 goals in 37 games for Livorno last season.

The Italian was desparate to sign for the Hammers, and has finally got his wish. He should go straight into the squad for Blackburn.
