Marko Arnautovic has been given the No 7 shirt at Shanghai SIPG after he was officially unveiled by the Chinese Super League club.
The Austrian forward sealed his controversial move on Sunday for £23million.
In January Arnautovic signed a contract extension with West Ham amid interest from China, but subsequently forced a transfer this summer.
Arnautovic was in good spirits as he was presented with his new shirt and was greeted by supporters.
Brazilians Oscar and Hulk will be among Arnautovic's team-mates at his new club.
Shanghai SIPG are currently in third place in the Chinese Super League having taken 40 points from their 16 games so far.
West Ham had showed their frustration with Arnautovic by announcing his departure in a short statement comprised of just 45 words.
Arnautovic scored 22 goals in 65 appearances for West Ham, while he provided 12 assists. Prior to that he scored 26 goals and made 32 assists in 145 games for Stoke.
