Former West Ham striker Teddy Sheringham comments on current striker

Sébastien Haller, the Hammer’s £45 million summer transfer, has been criticized much lately by the fans after a reasonably successful start of the season.

Yet speaking to Love Sport Radio, former West Ham forward Teddy Sheringham predicts that under Moyes Haller will find the net again soon. 

“I think the problem with Haller is they haven’t been playing to his strengths, with Moyes coming in – I think he will realise what he’s good at and what kind of service he likes.”

Haller seems to have shared in the rather miserable form of the team in the past months, which is now fighting relegation. He has also been too isolated and hasn’t been serviced good enough.

As TBR wrote, it’s worth noting that Haller has managed to be effective without the help of a strike partner. With six goals and one assist in 23 Premier League appearances he still is West Ham’s top scorer.

At both his previous clubs, the Dutch side FC Utrecht and Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, Sébastien Haller had a slow start before reaching 29 goals (in 58 appearances) at Frankfurt and 45 at Utrecht (in 87 games).

“He’ll come alive, he’s had that settling in period he hasn’t done great, I think he’ll be alright and we’ll see the best of him from now until the end of the season,” said Sheringham.
