West Ham have completed the signing of experienced Spanish goalkeeper Roberto.

The 33-year-old will arrive on a free transfer at the beginning of July when his contract with La Liga outfit Espanyol expires.

Roberto, whose full name is Roberto Jimenez Gago, will provide cover for Lukasz Fabianski after Adrian's Hammers exit was confirmed.

“From the beginning when I knew I was going to come here, I was very excited about the new experience," said the stopper.

“I consider this step a big step in my career. I think everyone who follows football knows the importance of this Club, so I'm really excited.

“I am looking forward to playing in the Premier League, of course. It's a big challenge as I consider this to be one of the two best and biggest leagues in the world, with our league in Spain, and I think it's a dream for every player to come here and play in the Premier League, so I'm looking forward to getting started."
