West Ham have confirmed the signing of Rennes defender Nayef Aguerd in a deal worth £30million.

The Hammers beat Newcastle United to the 26-year-old Morocco international centre-back, a long-term target of their manager David Moyes.

Aguerd was wanted by West Ham last summer but opted to continue in Brittany where he enjoyed another excellent campaign in 2021-22, making 40 appearances across all competitions.
