Soungoutou Magassa Signs With West Ham on Four-Year Contract

West Ham United have announced the signing of Soungoutou Magassa from AS Monaco. The midfielder joins on a four-year contract as the Premier League season gets underway.

MAGASSA JOINS WEST HAM: THE DEAL SEALED

Magassa, a promising French midfielder, has signed a four-year deal with West Ham. The agreement is worth €17 million, with an extra €3 million possible in add-ons for AS Monaco. This makes it one of West Ham’s key summer signings. The Hammers completed the deal after Magassa passed his medical and resisted late interest from other clubs. This follows earlier signings as West Ham reshape their squad.

WHY MAGASSA MATTERS FOR THE HAMMERS

Magassa is known for his strong build and technical talents. At Monaco last season, he played 29 Ligue 1 games, helping both defensively and in playmaking according to reports. West Ham had difficulty in midfield last season, finishing 14th in the Premier League. Magassa’s arrival shows the club’s desire to fix their midfield and bring in more energy for a demanding season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR WEST HAM?

West Ham continue their Premier League season with a visit to Nottingham. Nottingham Forest finished 7th last year, qualifying for the Conference League. Both teams want strong starts to climb the table. Magassa gives manager Graham Potter new choices as he tries to improve last season’s bad form. Fans hope Magassa quickly adapts and helps West Ham reach the top.
