Arthur Masuaku is loving the Hammers fanses his’ new favourite choral chant in his honour!
Described by his manager David Moyes as “a little bit special,” the left wing back told the official site“I can hear it all the time!”
“At the beginning of the game against Bournemouth, they were singing it, and then again during the game, so I appreciate that. I understand the song and I love the words and hope they can be true!
“I can feel the crowd when I get the ball. As soon as I have the ball, they expect something from me. It’s a good feeling.
“It’s important for me to have this relationship with the fans because it means they like me and want something from me. Not many players are lucky enough to have this, so I’d like to thank them.”
“I play with joy because football is just a game. When I was younger, I played without any pressure. I was just happy to touch the ball and dribble and all this stuff. Nothing has changed for me. For me, I take football just like a game and try to have fun and that’s it.
“When I was at school I was lucky that I was always the first pick! There was one other guy in my class who was also strong, so they didn’t want me to be on the same team as him. We had to be the captains and choose the rest of the guys!
“I was a forward when I was younger and I just used to love having the ball at my feet. I used to say ‘The ball is my baby’ and as soon as I touched the ball I felt good.”
He is also grateful to David Moyes who has found the key to unlock his skills and says: “The manager told me just to play my football and he’s given me confidence, so I’m trying to give him back on the pitch.”
