He joins West Ham on a five-year contract but will return to Paris FC on loan for the 2024/25 season to help the side push for promotion.
West Ham have been one of the busiest clubs in the transfer market this summer, having already brought in eight signings for new head coach Julen Lopetegui.
West Ham travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday, having lost their first game of the season to Aston Villa.
