West Ham complete Blanco signing
West Have have completed the loan capture of Sevilla striker Kepa Blanco until the end of the season.
Manchester City, Charlton and Everton were also chasing the 23-year-old but he has chosen to move to the Hammers, who have an option to buy.
The club revealed the player passed a medical and finalised terms.
West Ham boss Alan Curbishley said: "He is a different sort of player to what we already have. He is good in the
air and aggressive."
Kepa has notched three goals in nine league appearances for Sevilla this season.
Sevilla earlier said: "Kepa will play for the rest of the season at West Ham.
"The agreement between the two clubs includes an option to buy, which must be exercised before 30 June."
