West Ham coach Sheringham impressed by Sakho potential

West Ham United coach Teddy Sheringham is impressed by the early impact of Diafra Sakho.

Sheringham, who is West Ham's forwards coach, says he is excited by the potential he sees in Sakho during the first weeks of the Premier League season and West Ham's newest striking star is thriving on the all-action English style.

"In France, they are more tactical, more defensive," he told the London Evening Standard. "Here in the Premier League, the football is much quicker and the teams play attacking football much more, which is why you see more goals here. The fans at West Ham generate such a great atmosphere which is so important to me and something which will keep me here. As for the club moving to the Olympic Stadium, I can't wait to go there and score as many goals as I can."
