KIFI

LONDON (AP) — Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd has joined West Ham from French club Rennes for a reported fee of 30 million pounds ($36.7 million). The 26-year-old Aguerd will add competition to the center-back positions and might also fill in at left back. West Ham needs a deeper squad because it will play in European competition again this season, this time in the Europa Conference League. The Hammers were in the Europa League last season and reached the semifinals. Aguerd was at Dijon in France before moving to Rennes in 2020. He has played 25 times for Morocco and is set to play at the World Cup in Qatar.
