West Ham United are reportedly closing in on the signing of Rennes defender Nayef Aguerd in a move said to be worth £30million.
According to The Sun, David Moyes’ side, who have reached the qualifying rounds of next season’s Europa Conference League, are currently finalising the final details of a move for the 19-time Moroccan international centre-back, who has also played as a left-back.
Aguerd helped Rennes reach the group stages of the Europa League in the 2021/22 season, finishing fourth in Ligue 1 table and just three points shy of the Champions League places. The report claims that last summer, West Ham moved to sign Aguerd but Rennes refused to sell the 26-year-old.
