Former PSG defender Thilo Kehrer has explained moving to West Ham.

Kehrer joined the Hammers for €12m last summer, sacrificing regular Champions League football in the process.

But he told Sky Deutschland: “I thought about what makes the most sense to me over the summer. Of course I wanted to have as much playing time as possible, at as high a level as possible."

In the Premier League there are "a lot of games at Champions League level", Kehrer added.

"I have found a very, very good homebase in West Ham."
