West Ham United striker Sebastien Haller has spoken about his linkup with Luka Jovic and Ante Rebic, as reported by Blowing Bubbles' print magazine (Issue 100, page six).

What did he say?

The club-record £45m fee West Ham United paid for Sebastien Haller in the summer, as reported by BBC Sport, indicates how impressive he was during his time at Eintracht Frankfurt.

This is also reflected by his tallies in the opposition third, as across 32 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Bundesliga and Europa League, he recorded 20 goals and 12 assists.

While he, of course, deserves credit for the numbers he amassed, he also spoke about the partnership that he had with Luka Jovic and Ante Rebic, referencing how much that helped him: "We understood how the other one was playing. We had different qualities and focused on the things we did best. When you know what everyone does the best and you use it, it works."

He then added: "I had only midfielders around me, I was the only striker. I had to score goals, that's it."

Now missing

It seems as though he has so far been unable to replicate that type of telepathic partnership with anyone at London Stadium.

Volumes are spoken by the fact that the highest joint goal participation he has with any West Ham player this season is Ryan Fredericks with two.

To go from getting eight and four with Jovic and Rebic respectively, to then having the most productive linkup play with the club's right-back says a lot about how adverse his situation is at West Ham, compared to the one he had at Frankfurt.

This is also highlighted by how isolated he has been when playing up top on his own. At the Bundesliga club he said he had "only midfielders around me", but at West Ham they all seem to be lagging behind.

There needs to be responsibility taken by Haller for his situation, but he would definitely benefit from having someone who he can build up a true understanding with.

Perhaps playing him in a pairing like he was with Jovic would help.

Meanwhile, West Ham have been shown what they're missing.
