West Ham United midfielder Diego Poyet has signed a season-long loan deal with MK Dons.

Poyet featured five times during West Ham's Europa League campaign earlier this season, but after finding himself down the pecking order at Upton Park, the Uruguayan has linked up with Karl Robinson's Championship side.

The 20-year-old told the club's official website: "It's great to be here. I first heard about the move a couple of days ago and it was an exciting option for me. I'm pleased it's been able to go through.

"I've had a good pre-season and I'm feeling fit. I want to play games and I'm grateful to the club for giving me an opportunity to come and do that. I'm raring to go now and can't wait for the season ahead."

During the 2013-14 campaign, Poyet made 20 appearances in the Championship for Charlton Athletic.
