West Ham United have signed Rennes defender Nayef Aguerd.

Aguerd has penned a five-year contract with the Hammers, taking the No27 shirt.

"I was really happy when I heard about the interest from West Ham. When I was made aware of that, I knew right away that I had to switch to the Premier League," he said today.

"It's a dream for all players."

Aguerd had played in Rennes since the summer of 2020.
