Chile forward Luis Jimenez sealed his loan to English team of West Ham United from Italian Serie A champions Inter Milan for a season. "I am very happy, very excited and very determined to show what I can do," Jimenez told the Premier League club's website.

The 25-year-old, who has capped 20 matches and scored twice for his country, will join West Ham on July 1 providing he passes a medical.

Jimenez's loan move could eventually become permanent. He is the club's first signing of the close-season.
