Nayef Aguerd Getting Back to His Best at Real Sociedad

It has been two years since Nayef Aguerd flourished in the FIFA World Cup for Morocco, leading them to an unprecedented semifinals finish. This tournament helped him earn a €35 million move to West Ham, where he struggled to convince. By the time the 2024/25 season rolled around, Aguerd found himself surplus to requirements under new manager Julen Lopetegui.

Desperate for opportunities, Aguerd elected to leave East London for San Sebastián, joining Real Sociedad on loan. Bit by bit, Aguerd has rediscovered his mojo under Imanol Alguacil, displaying his quality in LaLiga and the UEFA Europa League and helping to fill Robin Le Normand's void following the Spaniard's departure to Atlético Madrid. Today, we're putting the microscope on Aguerd's stellar campaign in the Basque Country.
