West Ham captain Mark Noble is backing their summer arrivals to lift their fortunes this season.
The captain has played a leading role in welcoming Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta – both of whom will face their former club in Iceland – Marko Arnautovic and Chicharito to the Club.
And Noble believes their presence has already had a hugely positive effect on him and his teammates.
“To be honest, I think the Club, the Chairman and the manager have done great business," he told whufc.com. “The fans at West Ham demand big signings and they've got them this year!
“Chicharito is still probably one of the best finishers in world football. We all know the ability that Marko has got and he's come in and shown it straight away.
“The stuff that gets said about Marko off the pitch, from what I've seen over the past week or two, he has been fantastic, gelled with the lads straight away and hasn't been any problem, so I can see the West Ham fans really liking a player like him. I'm hoping he does really well for us.
“Obviously we brought Joe in and he's England's number one, which was a big statement from us because we had two really good goalies. Obviously we wish Darren [Randolph] luck at Middlesbrough but we've still got two really good goalies and they're definitely going to fight it out this year.
“The calibre of signings we've made this year, I'm hoping can make a huge difference."
