West Ham sign Da Costa

West Ham have signed defender Manuel Da Costa from Fiorentina, and allowed forward Savio Nsereko to move in the opposite direction. Fiorentina announced the completion of both deals on Monday evening. Germany Under-21s international Savio returns to Italy just seven months after joining West Ham from Brescia for a fee of around £9million. He struggled to make an impact in the Barclays Premier League, and West Ham will hope Portuguese centre-back Da Costa is better equipped to adapt to English football.
