West Ham United have announced the signing of French left-back Arthur Masuaku from Olympiacos.
The 22-year-old has penned a four-year deal for the Hammers for a fee believed to be in the region of £6m.
“West Ham United are delighted to confirm the signing of French left-back Arthur Masuaku,” a statement read on the club’s official website.
“The 22-year-old arrives from Greek Superleague champions Olympiacos on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
“The Lille-born defender, who has won back-to-back domestic titles with the Piraeus club, has played more than 100 senior games despite his tender age, including 12 in the UEFA Champions League.”
On the move, Masuaku said: “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.
“For me, the Premier League is the biggest league in the world. When I was 18, my target was to come here, so now I am here, I have to prove myself to the fans and to the team so that I can play for this big Club.”
West Ham had been in the market for a new left-back following injury to Aaron Cresswell.
