The transition from France’s Ligue 1 to the English Premier League has been a learning experience for West Ham United’s Soungoutou Magassa since joining the Hammers from Monaco in August. After a few cameo appearances, Magassa got his first start in a 1-1 draw against Everton and is gradually adapting to the differences between the leagues.
Despite initial struggles with the pace and intensity of the Premier League, Magassa showed improvement during the match against Everton. With more game time expected, starting with the upcoming game against Arsenal, Magassa is aiming to grow and make a positive impact for West Ham.
Reflecting on his Premier League debut, Magassa highlighted the challenges of facing unknown opponents in packed stadiums, something he didn’t experience much in Ligue 1. He emphasized the intensity and competitiveness of the Premier League, noting the high level of players and teams in the league.
Looking ahead to the game against Arsenal, Magassa is aware of the quality of the opposition but remains determined to give his best. He acknowledges the importance of securing points in the league and is committed to working hard to improve West Ham’s position in the table.
With Nuno Espirito Santo introducing new ideas and changes, Magassa believes that collective effort and determination will be key to achieving success for West Ham. As the team prepares for the challenge against Arsenal, Magassa is focused on making a positive impact and contributing to the team’s overall performance.
