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 have 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'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.
The
Hammers have the option to make the transfer permanent in the summer,
and the forward will provide some welcome attacking options for Bilic
with Andy Carroll currently sidelined again by injury.
