West Ham have completed the signing of Craig Bellamy from Liverpool.
The Welsh international has penned a five-year deal at Upton Park after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
West Ham have paid a club record £7.5million fee to land the former Newcastle and Blackburn hit-man.
Liverpool decided to offload Bellamy as he is surplus to requirements following the signing of Fernando Torres.
Bellamy is West Ham's fourth signing of the summer following the captures of Scott Parker, Julien Faubert and Richard Wright.
Bellamy is looking forward to playing at Upton Park and he has pledged to stay at the club for the long-term.
"I had a great experience at Liverpool and I believe West Ham will benefit this year, because I know I am a better player for it," Bellamy told the club's official website.
"I've signed a five-year contract here and I will be here for the long-term.
"I've moved around a bit in recent years and now I want to settle."
