Morgan Amalfitano has said that he decided to join West Ham United after speaking to manager Sam Allardyce.
The French midfielder, who spent last season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, joined the Hammers on a one-year contract from Marseille on the final day of the transfer window.
"The manager explained to me how the team plays and how he needs me," Amalfitano told London 24.
"I explained to him where I prefer as my position in his team. This is a new team with very good players with great experience of this league. I think everything can go well and I hope we have a good season.
"The coach will see what happens in every game and if he finds another position for me in the team, there is no problem for me."
Amalfitano was West Ham's ninth and final signing of the summer transfer window.
