West Ham United’s Luis Guilherme says he’s finally starting to feel fully settled at the club and is ready to show the fans what he can offer the team.

“I struggled a bit at the start as the football is very different,” he admitted. “I struggled to find my feet but I had players in my corner helping me a lot so I could adapt as quickly as possible. I’ve grown a lot in the last ten months.

“The competition is completely different to what I was used to in Brazil. Of course, they’re both very competitive leagues, but I find that the Premier League is quicker, your decision-making has to be very sharp and the intensity is higher.”

Luis Guilherme has played just 106 minutes of football this season which makes some of the rumours about him being sold because he’s not good enough already are very disappointing. You just cannot judge a 19-year-old kid coming from Brazil after barely even one game’s worth of football, and in fact, he has actually looked pretty bright in some of his substitute appearances.

Luis Guilherme has spoken about how his teammates have helped him settle in at the club. He said: “Thankfully, I’ve had Lucas [Paquetá] and Emerson take me under their wing. From the very first conversation I had with them, I’ve always tried to learn. I’m always asking them how I can improve. They’ve given me that support. I’m very grateful for everything they’re doing for me.”
