Sullivan: ‘I would like a few more British players’

Joint-Chairman David Sullivan has welcomed Scotland winger Robert Snodgrass to West Ham before announcing that he would like to bring more British players to the Club.

Snodgrass became the Hammers’ second January signing on Friday evening, when he completed a £10.2m move from Premier League rivals Hull City.

“Robert Snodgrass is a very good player who is great when it comes to scoring and assisting goals, while his free-kicks and corners are among the best in the Premier League,” the Joint Chairman told whufc.com.

“He is proven in the Premier League and is British, and I must say we’d like to sign a few more  British players to get a good balance in the squad alongside the outstanding players we have brought in from overseas.

“Robert is our second January signing after Jose Fonte, and I regard the Southampton captain as an ‘almost’ British player in terms of his experience in this country, since he has played here for a long time!”
