West Ham ace Sebastien Haller scored twice at the weekend.
Sebastien Haller scored his first goals for West Ham in a 3-1 win over Watford.
Haller, 25, was the club’s big money signing from Eintracht Frankfurt.
BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks selected Haller in his team of the week.
Crooks suggested Haller is an unusual mould to be a West Ham cult hero, but believes he is capable of being one.
Crooks said: “Haller is not what I would call a West Ham player in the traditional sense. There is nothing of the Bryan ‘Pop’ Robson or the Frank McAvennie about him but more of the David Cross.
“Haller will know little or nothing about those former West Ham goalscoring giants, but trust me, if he does half as well as any of those he will be an enormous hit with the fans.”
After scoring in his opening two games, West Ham fans might have been getting a little nervous.
Haller’s brace showed there was nothing to worry about, with the striker showing why the Hammers fought hard to win the race for his signature.
It was West Ham’s first win of the season, and they will be looking to follow this up with a home game against Norwich City next weekend.
Haller scored 20 goals for Frankfurt last season and provided 12 assists.
