Inter striker wants permanent switch to Hammers

Victor Obinna is ready to make his loan move from Inter Milan to West Ham a permanent deal.

The Nigeria striker, 23, has started the Hammers’ last two Premier League games.

And the £4m-rated Obinna, who only played nine games in two seasons in Italy, said: “I wanted to try playing in the Premier League because I thought it was a style of football that seemed right for me.

“There is also a possibility that my move could be made a permanent one.

“I’m happy to be a West Ham player I believe we have to work hard to take West Ham where it belongs.”
