The Hammers bought Haller for £36m from Frankfurt as a direct replacement for Marko Arnautovic.
Arnautovic was sold to Shanghai SIPG after demanding a move away from the club for the second time in six months.
Pellegrini has also spent £25m on young Spaniard Pablo Fornals.
Fornals arrived at West Ham from Villarreal, after the Hammers also signed Roberto and David Martin on free transfers from Espanyol and Millwall, respectively.
