Emmanuel
Emenike has revealed he is delighted to be given the opportunity to
finally work with Slaven Bilic after joining West Ham on loan.
The club paid a fee of £730,000 to sign the Nigerian striker until the end of the season.
West Ham will also have the option to sign him on a permanent deal from Fenerbahce for £8.1million.
‘I have always known West Ham as a great
club. I have always been watching them. West Ham’s a great club and I am
very, very happy and very, very excited that I am here,’ Emenike told
West Ham TV.
‘I’ve known him [Bilic] for years. When
he was at Lokomotiv Moscow, I was at Spartak Moscow, then he came to
Besiktas and I was in Fenerbahce, so we have known each other for a long
time. I’m happy to be here and happy to play for him.
‘We have followed each other’s careers and thank God we are here today and we are here together.’
Emenike added: ‘That is why I am here, to
always be in the first XI, always try to make the fans happy and to
make myself happy. I really hope it works out.
‘The Premier League is the best in the world, it is everyone’s dream to come and play here. I am excited to be here.
‘But it is not always just about the
player, it is team work and it is all about us as a team. I am here to
play with the team and work with the team.’
Emenike, capped 37 times by the Super
Eagles, spent part of this season on a loan spell at Arabian Gulf League
side Al-Ain in the United Arab Emirates.
