Manchester City fans have been shouting “Agueroooooo” for over a decade now. Now it’s West Ham fans’ turn. No, they won’t be signing the legendary Argentinean goalscorer but will get a chance to shout something similar. Granted, “Aguerdddddddd” isn’t quite so easy to roll off your tongue, but still.فخور دائما بالدفاع عن ألوانه🇲🇦♥️شكرا للجماهير على دعمهم➕3️⃣ Pts #DimaMaghrib pic.twitter.com/qOCC27QXwI— Nayef Aguerd (@AguerdNayef) June 10, 2022 Joking aside, the Hammers should be excited about their imminent $30 million signing of Moroccan international centre-back Nayef Aguerd from Stade Rennais. The 26-year-old has announced that his two-season stay in the northwest of France has ended.”It is with great emotion I announce to you that I have played my last match in Rennes’ colours. I gave everything from the first to the last day in matches and training, on and off the pitch and will be your first supporter. I sincerely wish you the best. Forever. Nayef.”23.30: (2.50) Fus Rabat (2.95) Berkane (2.95)The heartfelt goodbye shouldn’t fool you into thinking that Nayef is just an emotional softie. It’s quite the opposite. The former FUS Rabat player has been in exceptional form in Ligue 1, where he’d quickly become a mainstay for Dijon in 2018 and Rennes in 2020. Strong in the air, disciplined and quick, he is an ideal candidate to take on some of the best forwards in the Premier League.West Ham manager David Moyes has got his man to rejuvenate his defence after the departure of veteran Angelo Ogbonna. Kurt Zouma’s “cat problems”, the poor form of Issa Diop and the age of Craig Dawson meant that the backline needed special attention in this transfer window – and it seems they’ve chosen wisely.take care of him lads ❤️🩹⚒️🫧#westham #nayefaguerd #aguerd pic.twitter.com/swPdN7HNQR— i🫧 (@luvnayef) June 18, 2022 According to Sky Sport, Aguerd has already travelled to West Ham’s training ground a few days ago and met some of his new teammates. Despite rumours of Newcastle United trying to convince Nayef’s decision, he will wear claret and blue at the start of the 2022/23 campaign.The 25-times Atlas Lion made his international debut in 2016 and won the 2018 African Nations Championship while still a FUS Rabat player.
