“It has always been a dream for me to play in the Premier League and now I have a big opportunity to do that for West Ham – I cannot wait to start,” a delighted Nordveit said.
“This team has something special, a spirit in the team that I can fit into. I will work hard and hopefully I can get some good moments at this club.
“I’m a player who can play many roles on the pitch, but I’m from Norway so maybe a little bit more running, tackles and try to spread a few balls around me.
“I’m looking forward to showing what I can do, but hopefully I have something to help West Ham achieve even more.”
He left London six years ago and he also has 28 caps for his Norway scoring two goals.
