West Ham have landed their THIRD striker of transfer deadline day - clinching the signature of former St Etienne striker Ilan Araujo.

The 29-year-old thrice-capped Brazilian follows Benni McCarthy and Mido as new arrivals at the club following a frantic day of negotiations at both Chadwell Heath and the Boleyn Ground.

McCarthy - who agreed terms last week - had his transfer confirmed just after lunch. A couple of hours later former Roma and Ajax striker Mido told waiting reporters that he had agreed a deal until the end of the current season.

Ilan, who terminated his contract with St Etienne last month also joins on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
