“It’s quite exciting to be in a team which creates so many chances — and especially for an attacker to play with Felipe and Marko Arnautovic. I’ve started to get a good understanding with Felipe and he’s always giving me advice as well, because we’re the same type of player.”

Next up for West Ham is a crucial clash with Huddersfield Town on Saturday, and Diangana will be hoping for another chance to shine against David Wagner’s struggling Terriers side.
