West Ham United striker Enner Valencia is loving life at Upton Park.
Valencia admits fans have told him this season's success is a genuine surprise.
"They have told me that it is not always like this, but that is where we are," he told the London Evening Standard. "The objective we have is to keep on going up, right until the end of the league."
As for the club itself, he says he feels a natural affinity with the place.
"The fans are spectacular. They are always supporting. You are away from home and you feel like you're at home, and for a player that is really good. The supporters in South America sing a lot more, they are always singing. But the West Ham fans are a bit South American. There is always one song here, another there, they are always singing."
