The move was sealed late on transfer deadline day and was approved by the Premier League on Wednesday. Jacobsen, 30, has earned 35 caps for Denmark and played 16 times for Blackburn since arriving in June 2009. The Hammers, who are without a win this season, have also signed Belgian keeper Ruud Boffin from Dutch side MVV Maastricht on a two-year contract. Hammers boss Avram Grant, whose side have leaked nine goals in their opening three Premier League games, had made recruiting a new right-back a priority. Sam Allardyce signed Jacobsen for Blackburn on a free transfer from Everton, where his appearances were limited by a shoulder injury. The defender started his career at Danish side Odense and has also played for Hamburg, FC Copenhagen and Nuremberg.

Last season’s player of the season has started just one of Rovers’ first six games this time round, with boss Sam Allardyce insisting no one can afford to slip below the high standards they have set themselves. Nzonzi proved one of the bargains of the season in his debut Premier League campaign, after signing from French minnows Amiens for in the region of £400,000 in June 2009, but has yet to hit such heights this time round. The 21-year-old is expected to be recalled to the starting line-up for tomorrow night’s Carling Cup third round tie at Aston Villa, and Allardyce has urged ‘take your chance when you get it’. He said: “I don’t think he has been unlucky, I just don’t think he has played to the level he played last year.
