Ajax sign West Ham striker Sebastien Haller in £20m transfer as Hammers take huge 50 per cent hit on flop

Haller joined the East London outfit for a whopping £45m in the summer of 2019.
But he failed to replicate his price-tag in the Premier League and boss David Moyes has opted to cut his losses with the Ivory Coast international.
In a statement, the Hammers said: “West Ham United would like to thank Sébastien for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for his future career.”
Haller will now be hoping for a fresh start in Holland after penning a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Dutch giants.
It will be his second spell in the Eredivisie having spent two-and-a-half years with FC Utrecht before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt and then the Premier League.
The towering forward arrived with a big reputation and despite a handful of sensational goals, has found life tough in England.
Moyes' decision to sanction the transfer could mean he has a replacement lined up.
Haller's departure means Michail Antonio is the club's only out-and-out striker.
