West Ham United have completed the capture of Alvaro Arbeloa on a free transfer.
The former Real Madrid, Liverpool and Deportivo star, who was part of Spain's World Cup-winning team six years ago has signed a one-year contract with the Hammers.
I am really happy to be here," 33-year-old Arbeloa told West Ham's website, "I'm really happy to be back in England. It's a great chance for me and I'm looking forward to playing with this side.
"This is a great chance to be back in England and in the Premier League, which is a fantastic league. I want to play here again. This is a big club and a great club with fantastic players and a great coach.
"Slaven wants to see me train as soon as possible. I was talking with Luka Modric and Matteo Kovacic and they told me good things about the coach, so I want to work with him. Hopefully I can learn a lot of things."
