Chicharito: I want to deliver for the fans

Chicharito

Chicharito is determined to deliver a strong close to the 2017/18 season as West Ham United aim to continue their push up the Premier League table.

The Hammers are yet to taste defeat in the league since the turn of the year, with Mexico striker Chicharito helping to preserve that record with the equaliser in a 1-1 home draw with AFC Bournemouth.

That poacher’s finish was his fifth of the campaign and with a potential appearance at a third FIFA World Cup finals four months away, the 29-year-old has his sights set on adding to that tally over the final 13 games of the campaign.

“I feel good with the fans,” he explained. “I think they are happy with me. They have treated me very well since the beginning. But I want to be better. I want to deliver for them.

“What I see in the dressing room, what I feel, is that we want to be better. We all try to work very hard. 

“We all want more points, more good results, to be higher in the table. We want to make the fans happier and we are trying. We are working hard and the season is not over yet.”

I feel good with the fans. They have treated me very well since the beginning. But I want to be better. I want to deliver for them

Chicharito

Chicharito could feature alongside a Hammers new boy in Saturday’s trip to Brighton & Hove Albion, after David Moyes added Preston North End striker Jordan Hugill to the squad on transfer deadline day.

Hugill trained with his new teammates for the first time at the end of the week and Chicharito has already been impressed with him.

“He is a very good football player.” he added. “He played in the Championship, he is confident and I understand his feelings.

“He has come to a Premier League club, so he is ambitious. He is very happy. He is transmitted that and hopefully he can have a good career.”
