West Ham manager Slaven Bilic is delighted with the signings made by the club on transfer deadline day.

The Hammers were one of the busiest clubs on Tuesday, with Alex Song, Victor Moses, Nikica Jelavic and Michail Antonio all arriving at Upton Park.

Matt Jarvis' loan move to Norwich was the only deal to take a player out of east London and Bilic feels they did well with their transfer dealings.

Slaven Bilic highlighted West Ham’s organisation as the main factor behind his side’s 3-0 win at Liverpool.

"I think we've done a good job - that's what we wanted and it looks like the last day was a hectic day, but really the deals were done a few days ago and we just needed the papers (finalised)," Bilic told West Ham's official website.

"We knew from the start what we wanted and for a few players we waited until the end because it was impossible to get them done earlier because of their clubs.

"But we were patient and we said we'd wait until the last day and have a back-up if necessary."

"It's not just been the way they have played that has impressed me, but it's been the hard work as well," said Moses, who signed a four-year contract with Chelsea prior to completing the loan move.

West Ham's new signing Michail Antonio scored some memorable goals in a Nottingham Forest shirt, here's our pick of the wingers top 5 strikes.

"You can tell everyone is fighting for each other and it was a great result at Arsenal and then at Liverpool at the weekend.

"I love playing counter-attacking football and this club has definitely got it here and it will definitely suit my game.

"We've got a good quality of players up front and the wingers are quick, so if we can get it going on the counter-attack, we can really be a threat as a team."
