Joao Mario spoke to West Ham’s official club website after completing his loan move from Inter.
“I am really happy to be here. It’s a really amazing experience to join this amazing team and I am just glad to be here. It was a fast move. I have spoken with everyone around the team and, for me, it is exciting to play in the Premier League. I spoke with the coach and for me, I am really happy to be training for an amazing coach, also.”
He then revealed that Portugal teammate Jose Fonte played a part in the move.
“Jose explained to me a little more about the Club and also the song we have, I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles and that, of course, it was really important for me to join West Ham!
“It’s a really historic Club with an amazing stadium and amazing players. I am just trying to know a little bit more about the Club every day and now I have some time to know more.”
