West Ham signing Borriello: I can't wait to get going

AS Roma striker Marco Borriello is excited about his loan move to West Ham United.

Having turned out for the likes of AC Milan, Juventus and AS Roma, from whom he joined the Hammers on loan, he is now looking forward to showcasing his talents on a different stage.

He told West Ham TV: "I was given the opportunity to move in the summer and I was looking to come over to England and the Premier League, but I decided to stay at Roma at that time.

"However, when the opportunity arose to join West Ham in this transfer window, I was very happy to make the move.

"I can't wait to start playing in the Premier League - I know the fans are very passionate and I'm very excited by the challenge. I know it is a very tough league, but I am very much looking forward to testing myself here.

"Serie A and the Premier League are two different leagues. The Italian league is a bit more tactical, whereas the English league is maybe more physical.

"However, the ball is round in both countries, so if you are good player you can play in any league in the world."
