Nayef Aguerd is all set to be announced as a new West Ham United player tomorrow, with all the paperworks being finalised between the two clubs for the move. The player will be making the transfer for a reported £30 million fee.

David Moyes wanted to sign a left-footed centre-back this summer, and has acquired his target relatively early in the window. With the arrival of the Moroccan, the Hammers will be able to challenge for European spots once again and compete in the Europa League with more confidence at the back.
