West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic is excited by their deal for Manuel Lanzini.

Bilic believes the former River Plate playmaker has all the attributes to be a Premier League star.

"He's a good player, he's young and it's good that we have got him on loan with an option (to sign)," said the Irons manager.

"At the age of 20, he was given the No 10 jersey at River Plate who, with Boca Juniors, are a massive club of course.

"I watched him two years ago and I wanted to take him to Besktias, but it was difficult. Now, the chance has come to get him, he's going to help us a lot as he will add even more creativity in the crucial parts of the pitch.

"There are deep playmakers like [Andrea] Pirlo or [Luka] Modric or you have playmakers between the lines up front like Silva. He's more like him but he can play in all positions behind the strikers."
