Slaven Bilic expects "big things" at West Ham United

Slaven Bilic says that West Ham United are trying to bring in more new signings this summer to help them reach "another stage".

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has said that he is expecting "big things" at the club this season.

The Croatian was appointed as the new head coach of the Hammers last month, following the departure of Sam Allardyce.

Pedro Obiang and Dimitri Payet have both been signed by the club since his arrival, but Bilic is confident of adding more players to help them improve even further.

"Our plan is to bring in more players," Bilic told the club's official website. "We are trying to bring in players who we believe can lift us to another stage and make us better.

"We have already signed a few players and brought them into a good team. Sometimes they will click straight away and sometimes it will take a bit of time.

"We are aware of that and we are going to try and make that adjustment period as short as possible. We are expecting big things with West Ham. We are not big headed and will take it step by step but the early signs are very promising."

West Ham are in action on Thursday evening against Lusitanos in the second leg of their Europa League first qualifying-round tie.
