West Ham boss Allardyce: Surprising Cresswell wasn't signed sooner

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce admits they're fortunate to have signed Aaron Cresswell.

The former Ipswich Town fullback made the move over the summer.

Allardyce said: "Today we end up scooting off abroad [for players]. And none more so than me - I've done all that before. It's a great start for him and I'm sure he's loving every minute of it.

"He's loving the euphoria that comes around this level of football. I hope he continues to dedicate himself to get better and better."
