He can play in a number of defensive positions and add strength and depth to our current options.
I'm very excited to join West Ham United. This is the best league in the world and I'm looking forward to playing in it.
The manager told me how he thinks I will fit in at the club. I want to integrate myself into the group and enjoy playing for West Ham.

He is a player that Paris Saint-Germain have been looking to sell. He can play in the middle and also at full-back in Paris.
He needs a run of games to get ready for the World Cup with Germany. He should be able to find a new lease of life away from Paris Saint-Germain.
