Emmanuel Emenike's journey across Europe is complete.

On Sunday, West Ham United announced the signing of Emenike on loan until the end of the season, as the Nigerian forward joined the Hammers, who have the option of making the transfer permanent in the summer, from Fenerbahce.

While the transfer marks the first time that Emenike will play under Slaven Bilic, the two have been neighbours of sorts over the last few years, playing and managing at different clubs within the same league.

"I'm very, very happy and very, very excited that I'm here," Emenike told West Ham TV. "I have always known West Ham as a great club. I've always been watching them. West Ham's a great club and I'm happy to be here.

"I've known (Bilic) for years. When he was at Lokomotiv Moscow, I was at Spartak Moscow, then he came to Besiktas and I was in Fenerbahce, so we've known each other's careers and thank God we are here today and we are here together."
