Lee ready to fire the goals



West Ham United striker Elliot Lee is desperate to fire the goals to help his side reach the play-off round of the Europa League and show Slaven Bilic that he should be a regular member of the first-team squad.


Lee looks set to lead the Hammers attack in Romania on Thursday night and says he is relishing the chance to make only his second senior start.


The talented forward made the perfect start to his full debut for the Club when he scored the only goal in the 1-0 away win over FC Lusitans in Andorra in the first qualifying round of the Europa League.


And with the Premier League season getting underway on Sunday, the 20-year-old is now hoping to get among the goals once again and show he is good enough to compete at the highest level.


Lee said: “This is another opportunity for me to impress the gaffer and push myself into the first-team.


“There is a real belief in this squad of players. We are young and hungry and want to impress. We are confidence of getting a good result.


“I have never experienced anything like this before. The players act a lot different to they do in the Premier League but we are confident we can deal with whatever is thrown at us tonight.


“The gaffer has picked the team he trusts and he doesn't want to lose. The senior and young boys want to show what we are all about.”
