Alex Song has praised his West Ham United teammates for 'showing him love' as he continues to impress with the Hammers.

The Barcelona midfielder arrived at Upton Park on a season-long loan in August and has since received plenty of plaudits for his performances.

West Ham sit seventh in the table after a fruitful opening to the season, and Song says that his form is reflective of the warm welcome that he has been given in East London.

"I am very happy here. I am enjoying training every day, there is a good group of players here," he told the club's official website.

"It's important to fit in to the group you are working in, and I am doing that here. Everybody has shown me a lot of love, I feel very welcomed here.

"At the moment the team is playing very well, we need to continue to do that and improve at the same time."
