“With the season we had last season, everyone knows West Ham is a club which is going to compete and we need to be ready for that”.

The 22-year-old Frenchman has signed a four-year contract and could make his debut in the Monday Night Football clash against Chelsea, live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 7pm.

West Ham broke their club transfer record after signing Andre Ayew from Swansea City for £20.5 million according to the official club website.

Masuaku was in attendance for the game at London Stadium after West Ham agreed a fee in the region of £6 million.

Manager Slaven Bilic revealed the Hammers are on the brink of sealing two new arrivals ahead of the Premier League kick-off next weekend.

“It’s a big honour for me to be part of this club”, said Masuaku.

West Ham’s France star Dimitri Payet received the biggest cheer of the day upon his appearance as a substitute, but Zaza settled the match in Juve’s favour when he slotted home from the edge of the box.

“I think that technical skills are important but we have to play as a team, and to win leagues you have to have a good defence and in every friendly so far we have conceded, we need to avoid those mistakes”.

West Ham have moved to strengthen their options at left-back after Aaron Cresswell was injured during preseason.

The former France Under-19 worldwide won two Greek Superleague titles, as well as the Greek Cup, during his two-year stint with Olympiacos, who signed Masuaku after he impressed after breaking into the Valenciennes side as a teenager. In what was a hard campaign for the Swans, one which saw them replace manager Garry Monk with Francesco Guidolin midway through the campaign, Ayew scored 12 goals in 34 Premier League games and was named Premier League Player of the Month for August 2015.
