The West Ham United winger is in line to face his former club at the weekend.

Hammers new boy Robert Snodgrass sat down for an exclusive interview with the club’s official website, and shared how the thought of lining up against his former club Hull City on Saturday is a ‘weird feeling’.

The Scotland international made the move from the Tigers to West Ham in January, for a fee believed to be in the region of £10.3 million, but has failed to make his mark on Slaven Bilic’s side as of yet.

The 29-year-old has made seven appearances for the East London outfit thus far, failing to register either a goal or an assist – something that is quite simply not good enough for a player of attacking persuasion.

He will be hoping to reduce his best sooner rather than later, however, and he told WHUFC.com how the prospect of facing Hull has induced ‘weird’ feelings:

“Yes, it will be a weird sort of feeling, but as soon as that whistle goes it’s down to that nitty-gritty and doing as well as I can and trying to get three points. It’s not different from any other game.”

Bilic’s men will be in serious trouble, if they lose at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday, with a trip to north London to take on Arsenal swiftly following their visit to Humberside.

Just nine points separate Snodgrass’ current club and his old team.

Marco Silva’s appointment as Hull boss coincided with the club’s mini resurgence, and they will by no means be a pushover for the Hammers at the weekend.

And West Ham will need Snodgrass to start living up to his price-tag, if they are to salvage their disappointing campaign during the final eight games.
