West Ham have signed Brazilian forward Wellington Paulista on loan from Cruzeiro.
West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan labelled the signing of Wellington as a 'wildcard' but is sure he will be a hit at Upton Park. "I'd like to welcome Wellington Paulista to east London and West Ham United," Sullivan said. "He is another exciting player to add to our squad and although he may not be that well known on these shores, he comes with an excellent track record in Brazil. "His arrival is similar to some of the other 'wildcard' players we have signed before like in Demba Ba and Ilan. "They both made significant contributions and if he can match their efforts he will be an excellent acquisition for West Ham United."
