The former Leeds United and Norwich City winger has revealed the discussion he had with West Ham boss Bilic before his move to the London Stadium.
“He is a really good man and a football man and he understands that up to a month or so ago, his squad was underachieving so he’s set the record straight and he’s got in Jose Fonte, who is a great player with great experience,” Snodgrass told West Ham’s official website about Bilic.
“Jose has got Premier League experience and this is why he said to me when I spoke to him that he wants to bring people in who he knows have done it in this league.
“He did play a big factor and that’s one of the reasons I’m here as well, to play under a good manager.”
Snodgrass is a very good attacking player, and he should prove to be a brilliant signing for West Ham.
