West Ham United have completed the signing of attacking midfielder Manuel Lanzini from UAE-based side Al Jazira Club.
The 22-year-old has joined the Hammers on a season-long loan with the option to make the deal permanent.
River Plate graduate Lanzini has won four caps for Argentina at Under-20 level.
"This is very emotional because it is one of the best teams I have ever signed for," he told the club's official website. "It is a very important step for my career and for my future.
"I am looking forward to what is a new era for me. I'm very happy and I look forward to meeting my new teammates. This is a new challenge for me and that can only help in the future. It will test my ability in one of the best leagues in the world, so I am looking forward to getting started."
Lanzini joined Al Jazira Club in 2014 following spells with River Plate and Fluminense.
