Fulham have signed West Ham duo Bobby Zamora and John Pantsil for a combined fee of £6.3 million.
Zamora has out pen to paper on a four-year deal at Craven Cottage while Ghana international Pantsil has inked a three-year contract.
"I am very pleased that we have been able to add both Bobby Zamora and John Pantsil to our squad," Fulham manager Roy Hodgson told the club's official website.
"Bobby is a talented striker who not only has a desire to score goals but always looks to involve the rest of the team with his intelligent play.
"John has a versatility that will provide us with more defensive options, which is extremely important to the strength and depth we have in the squad."
Zamora moved to West Ham from Tottenham in 2004 and helped the team back to the Premier League in the 2004/2005 season. He made a total of 152 appearances for the Hammers scoring 40 goals.
The 27-year-old only played 14 times for West Ham last season as he missed five months of the season with tendinitis.
Pantsil on the other hand had a less successful time at West Ham, making only 19 appearances in two seasons spent at Upton Park.
