West Ham United have completed the signing of Raphael Spiegel for an undisclosed fee from Grasshopper Club Zurich.
The 19-year-old goalkeeper, who has agreed a three-year deal with the Hammers, will join up with his new teammates later this week.
Having represented Switzerland at all youth levels, Spiegel has been widely tipped to earn senior international recognition in the near future.
Despite speculation that he could be loaned out for the upcoming campaign, Spiegel is expected to stay at Upton Park, where he will provide competition to fellow keepers Jussi Jaaskelainen and Stephen Henderson.
