West Ham finally officially confirmed that Sofiane Feghouli has joined Galatasaray on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee believed to be £4m.

The Algeria winger moves to the Turkish Super Lig club after a single season in Claret and Blue, having joined the Hammers from Spanish side Valencia in summer 2016. Feghouli totalled 27 appearances and four goals for West Ham, including one against Slovenian UEFA Europa League opponents NK Domzale in the first-ever fixture at London Stadium in July last year.

He added further strikes in Premier League fixtures against Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion in Stratford before netting at Burnley in what turned out to be his final appearance for the Club in May.

West Ham thanked Sofiane for his efforts and wished him well in his future career on WHUFC

Feghouli was presented to the Galatasaray crowd before their match last night where he told supporters.

“Obviously I was expecting to sign Galatasaray for a long time, but conditions can sometimes be like that. I am very happy to join Galatasaray, which I am such a big supporter. Today I came to Turk Telekom Stadium for the first time; a very beautiful spectacular stadium. I want to meet my teammates and start the training to come out and play at this stadium.”

“I came here to be a champion; I want champions league. I have to work well. I signed a 5-year contract with Galatasaray which is a long contract. I hope everything will be as I want.”
