West Ham have signed Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd from French side Rennes.
The 26-year-old, who has been capped 25 times by his country, has agreed a five-year contract with the Premier League club. Hammers manager David Moyes had been eager to recruit a left-footed centre-back during the summer window.
Aguerd will provide competition for Craig Dawson, Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna and Kurt Zouma at London Stadium. Moyes told the club website: “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.
