By Francisco Acedo - Created on 5 Jan 2007
Luis Boa Morte has confirmed he has agreed to move to West
Ham.
The Portuguese international is set to tie up the move to Upton
Park on Friday after Fulham accepted a £5million offer for the
winger.
The former Arsenal man believes the time is right to seek a new
challenge after six years at Craven Cottage.
"It was just the moment for a change to another big club and
continue my story in England.
"The decision was not easy for me.
"They offered me an excellent contract. West Ham offered me more
money than Fulham."
Boa Morte is ready for the challenge of trying to help West Ham
avoid relegation.
"I have always given my best for Fulham and now I begin a new era
in my life," added Boa Morte. "A complicated challenge in my
career.
"West Ham are in the relegation zone, but I believe that it is
possible to recover so that we can stay in the Premier League."
