West Ham boss Moyes happy counting on Areola

West Ham boss David Moyes says he's happy with the impact of France goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

Areola is on-loan at West Ham from PSG this season and is currently acting as backup for veteran Lukasz Fabianski.

Moyes said: "We knew that with the number of games we would have to play we would always need competition. And I think I have two No1 goalies.

"It leaves Lukasz (Fabiański) on his guard with someone who is in good shape and ready to play. Like everyone who comes to a new club, even though Areola has gained experience with Fulham, I still think it takes a bit of time to settle down.

"I think his match (against Manchester City) was his best for us."
