Sead Haksabanovic excited about West Ham FA Cup chance

Sead Haksabanovic is ready to grab his chance with West Ham today against FA Cup opponents Shrewsbury Town.

The exciting Montenegro international attacking midfielder is set to be given a chance to impress at the New Meadow

“Hopefully I will play and I'm really excited about the prospect of showing what I can do, as it's a big game for me and a big game for the Club," he told whuf.com.

“I played my first game against Bolton and I was a bit nervous, but I think I did quite well, so it would be good to get another opportunity. It will be important for me to show the manager what I can, because I want to play. And if I want to play, I need to take that opportunity."

He added: “When I was in Sweden, I always watched games from the FA Cup, as well as the Premier League, so I know quite a lot about it.

“The biggest thing I can remember are the finals are played at Wembley, so I'd love to play there. I am too young to remember when Freddie Ljungberg, who also came from my old club Halmstads, and scored a brilliant goal for Arsenal in the final in 2002!"
