West Ham midfielder Soucek impressed by Ward-Prowse, Alvarez

West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek admits he's enjoying his football this season.

Soucek says he's happy playing with new midfield teammates James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez.

I don't think there is a big secret," he told whufc.com. I feel really motivated this season. The team is doing really well and I'm looking to get forward in the games.

Last season was a bit different and things didn't always go our way. We've had some changes this season, and I think they are good changes which have helped me a lot. I've scored a few goals now and I hope I can carry on with it all, in terms of my goals, our results and my playing time too."

He continued: It's different now to last season. I now have new players to play alongside in Edson and James and it's going really well. I think all of us have the ability to go forward and can do the defensive jobs too.

It's perfect because I know if I make a run towards the box then they are covering the space behind me. Also, if one of them is high up the pitch, I will stay and support our defenders. It's an excellent combination and I'm enjoying playing with them."
