West Ham United defender Jose Fonte says he is excited for next season after the club’s thus far impressive summer transfer market.
The Hammers have made four high quality signings this summer in the form of Pablo Zabaleta, Joe Hart, Marko Arnautovic and most recently Javier Hernandez, and Fonte believes the new additions can help the club push on to have a fantastic year.
The Portuguese defender says he agrees with compatriot Jose Mourinho, who recently said the Hammers ‘playing to win the Premier League’.
“Of course, when Mourinho says something like that it’s always nice, but you have to always take it with a little bit of a pinch of salt,” he observed on whufc.com. “But it’s true we have done some good business in the market.
“Credit to the Chairman, the manager and the sporting director, because they’ve done amazing in this transfer market and made four great signings. Mourinho is right when he says we’ve done good business because it’s the truth.
“We are excited for that first game against his team because Mourinho also has great players at his disposal and hopefully we’ll get some points on the board.”
