‘I want to play in the Premier League, but I also want to play at a club that I know I can develop.
‘I just loved the project that was presented to me, and I think it fits well with my ambition and where I’m heading to.’
He continued: ‘My family always support me 100 per cent and advise me. Of course, it’s football, and I’m going to be on the pitch and have most of the experiences, so I just follow my gut feeling because most of my decisions I make, it’s from my stomach and what my gut feeling is telling me and it was telling me it was West Ham, so my family supported me 100 per cent.’
West Ham have brought in Kudus, Edson Alvarez, James Ward-Prowse and Konstantinos Mavropanos this summer.
