The Hammers have done some smart transfer business in recent times, and this looks like it should be another good move for the club to strengthen their defence on the cheap.
David Moyes has managed to turn West Ham into genuine top four contenders and one imagines they won’t be too far away again next term if they can get more signings like this through the door.
It will be interesting to see how Aguerd adjusts to life in the Premier League, but if it goes well it could be huge for the Hammers as they look to keep on progressing.
