Mark Noble’s advice for people not to put pressure on Seb Haller appears to have fallen on deaf ears – at least from the man himself.

After three goals in three games the skipper asked fans to ensure that he was left to get on with his game free from speculation on how well he would perform this season.

It was all very captain-like and praiseworthy but it seems the Frenchman isn’t too bothered by the expectations he has created after such a blinding start to the season.

Instead he has made it clear that he is a guy who expects terrific things from himself and has no fear of saying so which is great to hear because great players have great expectations.

The new striker has shown thus far that he has everything in his locker to score goals and provide assists which could help shoot the Hammers into a PL top six challenging position.

Quoted at https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/sebastian-haller-sets-west-ham-19912530 he says: “I would like to play for France. You never know what can happen but it is not possible for the moment.

“I think it is about profile. I need to get my statistics up and score goals. I did it in Holland. I did it in Germany. Now I want to do it in England. Just to prove to myself and show I can be effective.

“I think West Ham was a good club to show this. The whole team is there to perform well so I have to show I can perform in England. I put pressure on myself every day.”
