On Saturday June 23, 2007, it was reported in French sports newspaper L'Équipe that Faubert was on the verge of a €6.5 million (£4.3 million) transfer to Rangers.[1][2]

However, on July 1 Faubert was signed by West Ham United for £6.1 million.[3] He suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during a pre-season friendly on 17 July against Czech side Sigma Olomouc, which was expected to take six months to heal.[4] As part of his comeback Faubert turned out for the Hammers reserves against Aston Villa's reserve team in January 2008.[5] He finally made his first team debut for the Hammers as a late substitute against Fulham at Upton Park on January 12, 2008.[6]His first season in English football was marked by continuing injury and he made only 8 appearances in league and FA Cup.
