Josh Cullen admits it's time to prove himself at West Ham United.

He turned 24 in April, but Cullen believes the experiences he has had and improvements he has made during a series of successful loan spells mean he is ready to perform in the Premier League.

“I'm delighted to be here," he told West Ham TV. “Like I've always said all along, through all the loans, the end goal is to be at West Ham. I'm 24 now so it's time to make it happen.

“It's been a different pre-season, a shorter one than normal, but I've loved every minute of it under the gaffer. Having worked under him and his staff during his first spell here, to come back and work under him again, I've loved it.

“Being back in and around the lads, who I really get on well with, it's been a pleasure, so hopefully I can stamp my mark on things now and try to be a regular feature in the squad and make as many appearances as I can."
