Argentine striker Calleri to join West Ham

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 2 (IANS) Argentine striker Jonathan Calleri has confirmed he will leave Sao Paulo to join West Ham United after the Rio Olympics.

The 22-year-old shone, during a six-month loan to the Brazilian club, was top scorer with nine goals in the Copa Libertadores, South America’s top club competition, reports Xinhua news agency.
