Marco Borriello has stated his eagerness to make his Premier League debut for West Ham United.
The Italian signed for the Hammers on loan from Roma late last week.
"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," he told the club's official website.
"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."
West Ham also signed Antonio Nocerino from AC Milan last week.
