West Ham have completed the signing of Paris Saint-Germain defender Thilo Kehrer.
A £10.1million fee was agreed between the two clubs on Tuesday afternoon and following a medical the next day, the club confirmed the signing of the German international.
Upon the announcement of Kehrer, Hammers boss David Moyes praised his new signing's versatility and talent with the club giving themselves more options in defence.

“I am really pleased to welcome Thilo to West Ham United,” said Moyes.
“He’s a talented player, who can play in a number of defensive positions, adding strength and depth to our current options.”
Interest for Kehrer was high, with Sevilla particularly keen, but with Angelo Ogbonna, Craig Dawson and Nayef Aguerd all currently out injured, there was an obvious need for the 25-year-old in east London.
He becomes the Hammers’ sixth summer signing following Morocco centre-back Aguerd, France goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, Italy centre-forward Gianluca Scamacca, Ivory Coast winger Maxwel Cornet and midfielder Flynn Downes.
