West Ham United goalkeeper Lukasz Fabiański is pleased working with new teammate Alphonse Areola.

The highly-rated goalkeeper has been brought in from PSG as competition for Fabianki.

"My first impression of Alphonse Areola is very positive," Fabiański told the club's website.

"He's a very good person and he just seems like a nice guy. You can see his quality as well out there in training.

"With that competition, it's always been there really. I've always had this thing in the back of my mind that each day you have to push yourself because you know that you have to always be up there with your standards and level of performances and deliver them week-in, week-out.

"With new players coming in, it doesn't matter their position. It always helps this feeling that you have to push yourself even more, you have to have this self-drive that will help you to keep delivering your performances at a good level, so I think that is what we always need as professionals, as goalkeepers.

"It doesn't matter the position, I think that's what always happens when there's a new player."
