New West Ham United signing Havard Nordtveit has admitted that he has always dreamed about playing in the Premier League and feels that the side he has joined have something special.
The Norway international has made a move to the London club and is expected to the first of many to sign on the dotted line and join Slaven Bilic’s men before the start of next season.
A free agent after his contract at Borussia Monchengladbach expired, the Hammers are said to have beaten a host of European and domestic rivals to the versatile Scandinavian’s signing.
Most adept in the centre of midfield, Nordtveit can also operate at the back and is set to replace Alex Song after the Cameroonian’s return to Barcelona.
The gifted new man has stated that he is looking forward to playing a role in West Ham’s continued success and that he is joining a team with something a bit special in it.
“It has always been a dream for me to play in the Premier League and now I have a big opportunity to do that for West Ham – I cannot wait to start,” he told the club’s official website.
“This team has something special, a spirit in the team that I can fit into. I will work hard and hopefully I can get some good moments at this Club.
“I’m a player who can play many roles on the pitch, but I’m from Norway so maybe a little bit more running, tackles and try to spread a few balls around me.
“I’m looking forward to showing what I can do, but hopefully I have something to help West Ham achieve even more.”
