West Ham boss David Moyes has hailed ‘great addition’ Nayef Aguerd to his ranks after they completed a deal for the star

The Moroccan International is a player that David Moyes has been very keen to sign this transfer window – as he wants to add players to the squad that will make a real difference to his side

The defender played 40 games in all competitions for Rennes during the recent campaign and had attracted interest from the likes of Newcastle and Everton – but West Ham won the race after agreeing a £30 million fee with Rennes

And after seeing the Hammers complete a transfer deal for the star – Moyes has opened up and admitted that Aguerd is a great addition to the side – Moyes said: “I am delighted to welcome Nayef to West Ham United. We have tracked his progress for some time and I’m very pleased that we have been able to complete the signing.

“He’s a great addition that will add to our defensive options.

“I have been really impressed with Nayef’s character and attitude during our discussions. He has a great desire to improve and be successful, and I am sure he will fit in very well to the environment we have at Rush Green (training ground).”

Aguerd began his career with FUS Rabat in his homeland before moving to France in 2018 to join Dijon and then transferring to Rennes in 2020.

He will provide competition for Craig Dawson, Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna and Kurt Zouma at London Stadium.

“I was really excited when I heard about West Ham United’s interest,” said the player.

“When I heard about it, I knew I needed to go to the Premier League, because it’s a dream for every player.

“West Ham is a historic club. I talked with the manager and he showed me that he was very interested, so it was easy to choose to come to West Ham.”
