There has been an absolutely huge Nayef Aguerd update from David Moyes as the West Ham boss raves about his £30m ‘specimen’.

West Ham splashed out £170m on eight quality signings in the summer.

And £30m of that was spent on West Ham’s first arrival of the window, Morocco star Aguerd from Rennes.

Unfortunately West Ham fans and manager Moyes have not seen much of the left-footed centre-back since.

The 26-year-old required ankle surgery after an injury in only his second West Ham appearance of pre-season against Rangers at Ibrox.

In Moyes’ own words – Aguerd is seen as one of West Ham’s most important signings of the window and fundamental to what the Scot is trying to build in this new-look Hammers side.

Aguerd recently started light training alone as part of his rehabilitation but was not expected back until – at the very best – the end of October or beginning of November.

But there has been an absolutely huge Aguerd update from Moyes as the West Ham boss raves about his £30m ‘specimen’.

Moyes has revealed that Aguerd is back on grass and doing so well he could join in team training next week.

And the Hammers boss says his defender is in such good shape he may try to accelerate his return to the West Ham first team.

“Aguerd is beginning to make his way.” Moyes said in his latest press conference on Wednesday afternoon.

“He’s doing a bit on the grass. I hope next week he can join bits of the football.

“He’s a pretty good specimen so he’s one I might try to push on quite quickly, but we need to get him some U23s games and stuff like that.”

What brilliant news.

It feels more and more that Aguerd could be the missing piece to really get this West Ham side motoring and pushing for the top spots again.

Let’s hope he can prove his fitness to join Morocco at the World Cup which will in turn build his strength for the second half of West Ham’s campaign.
