Speaking to Austrian paper Kronen Zeitung, he pledged his future to West Ham. saying: “I think it’s really obvious what the media attention has caused. Otherwise, I do not want to say much about it anymore. I’m a West Ham United player and I do my utmost to be successful with my team.”

“That’s the most important, fans, especially those from the homeland, they give so much encouragement, it’s outstanding, It’s great that so many people are taking their time to vote. What matters to the striker, in particular, is his relationship with the little ones.

“Experiences with children are beautiful. I always want to give them pleasure. If I give shoes or a shirt, the boy or girl and I will not forget that day so fast.”
