Sofiane Feghouli signs five-year deal at Galatasaray after completing £3.9m switch from West Ham

Sofiane Feghouli has left West Ham for Galatasaray in a £3.9m deal after signing a five-year deal with the Turkish giants.

Both clubs confirmed the transfer on Monday evening after the Algeria international travelled to Turkey at the weekend and then put pen to paper on a long-term contract at Galatasaray.

The move brings to an end Feghouli's time at West Ham, which lasted just one season, after he initially joined the Hammers from Valencia in the summer of 2016.

The 27-year-old, who was voted the 2012 Algerian Footballer of the Year, had scored 42 goals in 243 appearances for Los Che but an injury-ravaged campaign at the London Stadium saw him score four goals in 27 appearances in all competitions for Slaven Bilic's side.

Despite his difficult season in London, Feghouli took to Twitter following confirmation of his departure from West Ham to thank the fans for their support last term.

He wrote: "Thank you West Ham fans for the support this season and good luck everyone for the future. Always @WestHamUtd."

West Ham added in a statement on their website: "Feghouli totalled 27 appearances and four goals for West Ham, including one against Slovenian UEFA Europa League opponents NK Domzale in the first-ever fixture at London Stadium in July last year.

"He added further strikes in Premier League fixtures against Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion in Stratford before netting at Burnley in what turned out to be his final appearance for the Club in May.

"West Ham United would like to thank Sofiane for his efforts and wish him well in his future career."
