Nayef Aguerd’s Gratitude: A New Chapter Unfolds
In a recent press conference, Nayef Aguerd expressed his heartfelt gratitude to West Ham United for allowing him to join Real Sociedad on loan this summer. Aguerd’s decision to leave West Ham was not taken lightly, but he felt an overwhelming desire to try something new and experience the thrill of playing in La Liga.
Aguerd’s time at West Ham was marked by moments of brilliance, but he struggled to find consistency and truly make his mark on the team. Despite helping the club win the 2022/23 UEFA Conference League, he found himself increasingly sidelined, and his omission from the matchday squads for West Ham’s first three games of the new Premier League season was a clear indication that his time at the club was drawing to a close.
As the summer transfer window drew to a close, Aguerd’s future hung in the balance. Would he stay and fight for his place, or would he take the opportunity to explore new horizons? In the end, it was Real Sociedad who won the race for his signature, and Aguerd couldn’t be happier with his decision.
“I want to thank all the people at the club (Sociedad),” Aguerd said, his voice filled with emotion. “The last hours of the market were very intense, but I am very happy to be here, at this great club, with a great history.”
Aguerd’s words were not mere platitudes; he genuinely believes that Real Sociedad is the perfect place for him to grow and develop as a player. He praised the club’s “healthy” environment, which he believes will help him improve and reach new heights.
“When I spoke with Roberto and the coach, I knew I had to come here,” Aguerd revealed. “It is a very healthy club, which helps the players to improve a lot, and that is what I am looking for, because I want to grow, as does the club, which wants to be as high as possible.”
Aguerd’s desire to grow and improve is admirable, and his willingness to take risks and try something new is a testament to his courage and determination. He knows that he has a lot to prove, but he is relishing the challenge.
“Thanks to the club (West Ham) for giving me the opportunity to leave, because I wanted to try something new, and I wanted to play in La Liga,” Aguerd said, his voice filled with gratitude. “That’s why I speak Spanish so well, because since I was little, I wanted to learn it to play in La Liga one day.”
As Aguerd embarks on this new chapter in his career, he does so with a sense of excitement and anticipation. He knows that there will be ups and downs, but he is ready to face whatever challenges come his way. With his talent, determination, and gratitude, Aguerd is sure to make a lasting impact at Real Sociedad.
