Analysis
In a move that came completely out of the blue, Ipswich Town left back Aaron Cresswell joined West Ham yesterday for a fee of around £4m.
Yesterday morning, it appeared that we were about to sign Timothée Kolodziejczak from OGC Nice, then we were linked with Andrew Robertson of Dundee United, and we supposedly also bid for Martin Olsson of Norwich City, before the news that Cresswell was mid-medical suddenly broke.
With a transfer coming from left field like that, it’s possible that not many Hammers know much about the 24 year old. Well, fear not, I’m going to tell you all you need to know.
Head to West Ham United Stats for my full analysis of the new man, including a comparison with his new team mates, and a look at some of his strengths and weaknesses .
