Manu Lanzini couldn’t be happier to be at the club he loves with a passion admitting he has missed absolutely everything at West Ham.

Speaking to the official site he said: “I missed West Ham, I missed the players, all the West Ham staff and the training ground, so I’m happy to be back.

“Now, I am feeling good. It was very hard when my knee was broken before the World Cup but now I am thinking of the future and now I am happy.”

“[My surgeon] Ramon Cugat was very good for me. The surgery was good and everything really was very good.

“My knee is feeling very comfortable and stable and this is very important. I am taking things day by day and I am feeling good, comfortable and stable and I am ready to keep going like this and we will see.

“Now, I am working on the bike with the Bosu [balance trainer] and am doing activation and work on my quadriceps and hamstring, all in the gym.”

“I think about this every day. I want to be on the pitch as quickly as possible, but I also know that the injury was bad so I need to stay calm and take things day by day. We will see what happens in the future.”

He has spoken to the boss regularly saying: “We have spoken a lot because he wants me to feel good and when I feel good and the knee stays stable and all of these things, I’ll go back to the pitch.

“Now, we have a Spanish West Ham team! I missed the team, I missed the people and I think we have brought in good players and we need confidence.”

“I can only say thank you. I always say thank you to the West Ham fans because they have been amazing.

“I’ve been at this club for three years and they were always good with me and I want to be back quickly and play for West Ham.”
