I went to a few of their games this year, and the fans and atmosphere were fantastic, especially with the bubbles! I spoke with the manager, and he demonstrated that he was very interested, so it was an easy decision to come to West Ham.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moyes added, &#8220;I am delighted to welcome Nayef to West Ham United.&#8221; &#8220;We had been following his progress for some time, and I&#8217;m delighted that we were able to complete the signing. He&#8217;s a great addition who will help us on defence.&#8221; During our discussions, I was very impressed with Nayef&#8217;s character and attitude. He has a strong desire to improve and succeed, and I am confident he will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the run-up to the 2021\/22 season, David Moyes&#8217; side drew the corresponding fixture 2-2, briefly giving Liverpool hope in the title race when they took a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West Ham, who finished seventh and qualified for the Europa Conference League, travel to newly promoted Nottingham Forest before hosting Brighton, whom they have never beaten in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hammers host Leicester City on November 12 before the World Cup in Qatar, and they return to Premier League action on Boxing Day at the Emirates against Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West Ham&#8217;s final home game of the season is against Leeds on May 20 before finishing the season at Leicester City on May 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aguerd has joined the Hammers on a five-year contract for \u00a330 million; Newcastle were
