Ruud Boffin is keen to challenge Robert Green for the right to be West Ham United's No.1 stopper. The Hammers completed a deal for Boffin on transfer deadline day after the Belgian impressed on trial during the summer.
The 22-year-old, who had a spell on loan at Dutch outfit VVV Venlo last season, kept a clean sheet for West Ham's reserves against Leicester on Tuesday night.
"I am very happy to be here," Boffin told the club's official website. "It is a great opportunity for me to come and play here.
"I had been training here before at Chadwell Heath. I was here for four days and I had a game.
"Things then happened very quickly on the day I signed and we had just two-and-a-half hours for the paperwork. I had to wait until the last day, but it all happened.
"I like the atmosphere here and it is a very nice group. I will learn a lot from playing with Robert and under [goalkeeping coach] David Coles.
"It is going to be a big challenge for me but I am ready."
