Franco feeling great about West Ham move

Former Villarreal striker Guillermo Franco is delighted with his progress at West Ham United.

The Mexico international actually has a Scottish influence in his family and is enjoying playing in the UK.

Franco told West Ham's matchday programme: "I'm delighted to be here. It is not easy for a player to come to the English league and adapt quickly and win a starting place but I feel happy.

"I'm feeling physically strong and that's helped me. I'm playing matches, as I'd hoped to do, so things are going well personally. I've scored twice and hopefully there'll be more to come."
