He told ESPN in Argentina: "The deal is done. It is sure that I am going to play at West Ham.
"All that is left to finish is the work visa and if there are no other problems, if all goes well, I will be playing there. Playing in Europe has always been my dream.
"It is a league that has everything, great players, great managers. I would like to be able to perform at that level and that is why I want to go there."
Asked if he would be calling former Hammers striker Carlos Tevez to ask him for some words of wisdom ahead of his move, Calleri said: "Yes, sometimes through his agent, Adrian, I can call him to ask him for his advice.
"He has always been great with me. We had a great time playing together when I was with Boca [Juniors]. He was the one who got me sold [to Sao Paulo]."
On a potential return to Argentina, Calleri added: "I would love to go back to Boca Juniors and have the fans welcome me."
