Luis Jimenez has sealed a deal to join Parma after leaving Premier League side West Ham United.
 

Jimenez had originally been on loan with the Hammers from Inter Milan until the end of the season, but the Upton Park hierarchy has now decided to let the forward go with immediate effect.
 

"I'm happy to go to Parma," he told Sky Italia.
 

"My experience in the Premier League has not gone as I wanted.
 

"Now I hope to stay for a long time in the same team, although in my career until now I have never been able to do so."
 

Parma's sporting director Pietro Leonardi said: "Jimenez is an important player who will give quality to Parma and will help us to achieve the objective of survival."
