After signing for West Ham two months ago, Pedro Obiang is hopeful he'll make his competitive debut for the club in Saturday's match against Leicester City.
A nagging leg injury restricted the Spaniard to just one preseason appearance since he joined from Sampdoria earlier this summer. He's now returned to full training, and despite West Ham shocking Arsenal with a 2-0 away win last weekend, he hopes to stake a claim for a place in the Hammers' lineup.
"This week I was finally training with the whole squad," he told West Ham TV, "and I'm looking forward to giving a slight headache to the manager to show that I'm ready to play!"
