Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd joins West Ham from Rennes

Morocco defender Nayef Aguerd has joined West Ham from French club Rennes for a reported fee of 30 million pounds ($36.7 million)

JUNE 20, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nayef Aguerd - Makes move to West Ham Aguerd has signed a five-year contract with West Ham away from French side Rennes.

Impact Aguerd makes the move to the Premier League after starting 66 league matches the last two seasons with Rennes, who were in the Champions League two seasons ago. The center-back should fight for time immediately and provide depth for a fairly slim back line. Even as a center-back, he has five goals, three assists and 53 shots the last two seasons.

JUNE 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Nayef Aguerd - Stars statistically for Rennes Aguerd scored twice on 25 shots, tallied two assists and held 10 clean sheets in 31 league starts for Rennes in season 2021/22.

Impact Aguerd was a vital part of a brilliant campaign for the Bretons. He also added 27 tackles and 124 clearances and has been a fantasy star in most formats as well despite the team being a bit leaky at times.

Manuel Lanzini - Enjoys bounce-back campaign Lanzini played 30 league matches (19 starts), with five goals scored and three assists.

Impact Lanzini had his most active season since suffering the serious knee injury that made him miss 2018 FIFA World Cup. And this increased activity came with some nice performances, with his involvement in eight goals being more than what he did over the previous three years combined. Now free from injury and closer to his best level, the playmaker will certainly be in contention for significant playing time during next campaign.

Pablo Fornals - Finishes his best EPL campaign Fornals scored six goals, provided three assists, created 48 chances, sent in 87 crosses and made 54 tackles over 36 appearances (32 starts) this past season.

Impact Fornals is far from being considered a fantasy stud but he keeps improving in many aspects of the game and is always capable of contributing on the offensive end. His six league goals matched a career best he had with Malaga back in 2016-17 and, as every 26-year-old player, he still has room for improved. An equally featured role should be expected for him next season.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Cresswell - Completes another solid season Cresswell scored two goals, provided three assists, created 31 chances, sent in 145 crosses and made 64 clearances and 35 interceptions over 31 starts this past season.

Impact Cresswell was always the first choice at left back but this time had to play some games as a centre back due to several injuries at the position. Despite missing the entire month of December due to a back injury, he still finished top five among left backs in clearances, blocks and crosses. With Mark Noble now retired, Cresswell becomes West Ham's longest-tenured player and, as long as he's fit to play next seasonm, a two-way fantasy upside will always be there.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kurt Zouma - Strong finish for rocky campaign Zouma played only 24 matches (all starts), scored one goal and added 132 clearances, 34 interceptions and 26 blocks.

Impact Zouma had a pair of injuries that held him back during his debut campaign with West Ham after joining from Chelsea. However, the centre back was always a factor when able to play, being third among all EPL players in clearances average per game. Regardless of who will be his partner next season, Zouma will probably be a top-tier fantasy alternative if healthy.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Craig Dawson - Finishes productive season Dawson made 34 appearances (30 starts) and scored two goals, provided two assists and racked up 138 clearances and 52 blocks.

Impact Dawson did a nice job during his first full campaign with the Hammers. The veteran centre back was in very high-demand, especially with Kurt Zouma, Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna all missing a huge chunk of matches due to injury, and didn't disappoint. He was second among all EPL players in blocked shots and also was a great source of clearances. With all injured players back for next season and maybe additional reinforcements coming during the upcoming transfer window, Dawson's status for next season remains uncertain but he showed he's more than capable to deliver when given the chance.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Tomas Soucek - Completes solid campaign Soucek made 35 appearances (34 starts) and scored five goals, provided one assist and racked up 66 tackles, 97 clearances and 52 interceptions.

Impact Soucek was coming off an amazing campaign during his previous season, so expectations were very high on him. However, the midfielder was mostly deployed in a defensive-minded role, so another double-digit scoring output was very unlikely. His defensive stats remained solid but, despite his additional holding duties, it's a little bit disappointing that we didn't see a spike for some peripheral categories. According to Sky Sports, Soucek remains an integral part of plans for next season, but an impasse on negotiations for a pay rise could be a factor for him to leave the club.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Jarrod Bowen - Finishes breakout season Bowen played 36 league matches (34 starts) and finished his campaign with 12 goals and 10 assists off 79 shots and 41 chances created.

Impact Bowen was already coming from a solid performance during his previous campaign but reached another level last season. After experiencing some ups and downs during the first half, he exploded in his last 19 outings, with impressive 11 goals and six assists and finished the season as West Ham's leader in both categories. This production recently earned Bowen his first international call-up for England and he'll certainly be targeted by several major clubs during the next transfer window. Regardless of his transfer status, he'll probably remain a fantasy force next season.

Said Benrahma - Ends up-and-down season Benrahma missed the final two matches of the season with a minor ankle issue.

Impact Despite the season being done for less than a week, there have already been rumors about a possible transfer away from West Ham for Benrahma. It's an odd move for the club, as they battled depth issues in Europa League this past season. Not to mention, Benrahma had a decent season, compiling eight goals, six assists, 63 shots and 32 chances created in 32 league appearances (26 starts).
