Hammers manager, Slaven Bilic, has been very keen to land the Nigeria striker, who scored seven times in 11 matches for UAE club, Al Ain, to boost his attacking options.
The 28-year-old was reportedly set to undergo a medical in London on Thursday, but the deal was held up by negotiations with Fenerbahce. It was eventually sorted out on Sunday.
“I’m very, very happy and very, very excited that I’m here,” Emenike told West Ham TV.

“We’ve followed each other’s careers and thank God we are here today and we are here together.”
