Diame ready for West Ham first team - Allardyce

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce suggests that new signing Mohamed Diame will be straight into his first team.

The 25-year old midfielder today signed a three-year deal with the promoted Hammers, to officially join from Wigan Athletic on July 1, and Allardyce is backing to him to make an immediate impact in his squad.

"His potential is really good and he's ready to go and compete in the first team straight away, as he's had three years in the Premier League already," he told the club's official website.

"He's 25 and can only get better and I hope he can go on to prove that to me and all of the West Ham United fans. He will be a very exciting addition to the squad."
