West Ham sign Masuaku

The 22-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Hammers and has ended Slaven Bilic's search for a new left-back. 

Bilic was desperate to bring in a left full-back due to the injury to Aaron Cresswell. The east London club saw bids for Norwich's Martin Olsson and Hull's Andy Robertson rejected, while Inter Milan defender Davide Santon failed a medical ahead of a proposed season-long loan.

Makuaku told the club's official website: "It's a big honour for me to be part of this club.

"I was speaking with my agent about some opportunities, but when he told me about West Ham and also the coach, I didn't think twice, so in my mind, it was West Ham.

"Now, to be able to play with players like Dimitri Payet, I was thinking on the way here, it's going to be crazy. I can't wait to play with him and also all the rest of the team".
