Signs with West Ham Magassa completed a transfer to West Ham from Monaco, the club announced Friday.

Impact Magassa makes the switch from Monaco to London, where he will join West Ham as another option in holding midfield. With Edson Alavrez out of the way there's the chance for Magassa to be an immediate starter for the Hammers. He was a consistent option for Monaco in the last two seasons, making 21 appearances in both, but never nailing down the starting job. Magassa is also competent at center-back, a role he could play in West Ham's back-three.

Out few weeks with face injury Magassa is out for the next few weeks due to a face injury, according to his club.

Impact Magassa will sit out the next week or two of play, with the midfielder going down with a face injury last week after picking up a suspension. Unfortunately, this will force him to miss their UCL match Tuesday and likely also the match against Lille on Saturday, meaning his UCL campaign could be over if his team doesn't pull off a comeback. Luckily for the club, this isn't a major loss, as he has only started once in the past month of play.

Suspension cleared Magassa completed his one-match suspension and will be eligible to face Lille on Saturday in Ligue 1.

Impact Magassa missed Saturday's 7-1 win over Nantes due to suspension but is now available for selection for Saturday's league game. He has been a bench option recently and should remain one for the time being.

Provides assist in loss Magassa assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 4-1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Magassa returned to the starting lineup for the first time in four matches and recorded his first assist of the season, setting up Monaco's only goal for Denis Zakaria in the first half. He also made an impact defensively with four tackles, four interceptions, and two clearances. His next chance to contribute comes Tuesday against Benfica in the Champions League knockout stage.

Suspended via yellow cards Magassa is set to be suspended after accumulating three yellow cards over a span of ten games, the league announced.

Impact Magassa picked up his third yellow card in the last ten games across French competitions and will be suspended for the Ligue 1 match against Nantes on Feb. 15. His absence is unlikely to affect the lineup as he has not started any of the last four games.

Signs extension Magassa signed a contract extension through 2029, Monaco announced.

Impact Magassa has been a big part of the defense, and active in midfield as well. He's a huge contributor and can play a variety of roles, something that has been valuable as Monaco handle a variety of injuries.

The goal gave 10-man Monaco a brief 2-1 lead they would relinquish in a 3-2 defeat versus Benfica.
