Aguerd shock hits the Hammers

Shock on the way for Moyes?

CandH Exclusive by Hughie Southon

West Han’s hopes of signing Nayef Aguerd have hit a potential problem.

No sooner had we posted the news per the London Evening Standard that he was believed to be in London for a medical that we were contacted by a Hammers insider saying there could be a problem.

And it seems that once again Newcastle United could be the thorn in our side as they take a late interest in the player.

It it may be that David Moyes’ hopes the Rennes defender will become the club’s marquee signing this summer could now be in danger.

CandH’s key Hammers source, having explained that we were likely to see the central defender sign before the end of the week, revealed when we asked the length of deal he was set to sign: “Who knows, Newcastle are trying to hijack the deal.

It could be a massive blow for Moyes and Rob Newman who have put an incredible amount of time into scouting the player and negotiating with Rennes.
