Thilo Kehrer insists the name of West Ham United is getting 'bigger and bigger'.

The Hammers secured big signings over the summer including Kehrer, Lucas Paqueta and Gianluca Scamacca.

And Kehrer believes the club's profile is becoming well known across Europe.

"The club is getting bigger and it's a really interesting project," Kehrer said ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash with Silkeborg.

"The team, the coaching staff, the ideas that are here and the values that are shown – those were the most important reasons for me.

"I think it's a name that gets bigger and bigger. You see the signings that came in the summer and the last season the club had, it's very positive."
