West Ham midfielder Poyet: I'm Diego, not Gus!

West Ham United midfielder Diego Poyet admits he's desperate to make a name for himself.

Poyet admits he's often referred to as 'Gus' after his Dad, the Sunderland manager.

He told The Sun: "Do I get called Gus? Yes, I do - just five minutes ago I got called Gus! People forget.

"Even when I am playing, people are always comparing me, but when they see me play, they see we're different players.

"Hopefully in the coming months I will be called Diego more. It would be nice for people to know of Diego Poyet at the end of the season."
