# Feghouli signs for West Ham

West Ham have completed the signing of Algerian international Sofiane Feghouli on a free transfer, Jack Sullivan has confirmed on Twitter.

The 26-year-old has [rejected advances](https://readwestham.com/2016/06/13/feghouli-expected-join-west-ham/) from the likes of Manchester United, Sevilla, Villarreal, Inter Milan and Fenerbahce before putting pen-to-paper on a three-year deal with West Ham.

Feghouli has spent the last five seasons at Valencia. He made over 200 appearances for the Spanish outfit, scoring 36 and assisting 44 in the process.

Signing the Algerian winger is an incredibly shrewd piece of business by West Ham and current boss [Slaven Bilic is believed to have played a major role](https://readwestham.com/2016/06/13/feghouli-expected-join-west-ham/) in convincing Feghouli to snub interest from elsewhere.

Feghouli becomes the Hammers’ second signing of the summer, following Norweigan defender Håvard Nordtveit, who also arrived on a free transfer after being released by Borussia Monchengladbach.
