West Ham's record signing Sebastien Haller grabbed his first two goals for the club against Watford in the Hammers' last Premier League outing, showcasing his predatory instincts with some well-taken efforts from inside the box.

The two goals made him the club's top scorer in the league this term after three games.

Whilst you would expect the 25-year-old to be pleased with his match-winning double, Haller has shown just how high his personal standards are with his words in the aftermath of the 3-1 win.

What did he say?

Haller told The Evening Standard: "It was a terrible game for me against Watford. It was not my best game but at the end I got two goals and that is the job of a striker.

"It is not easy to judge a player when he plays well but he does not score, but Saturday was the opposite. I am just happy because I helped the team to win."

Shows just how high his standards are

That first sentence from Haller tells you everything you need to know about the 6 foot 3 forward's mentality.

"It was a terrible game for me against Watford" is the nine-word response that proves the powerful striker wants more goals, better performances and is striving for the very best at the London Stadium.

It is probably the reason why he managed to hit an impressive 15 Bundesliga goals whilst also recording nine assists last term - with his peak years still looking likely to be ahead of him, his comments should certainly excite a large portion of the London Stadium faithful.

Haller's words will also presumably be music to the Hammers fans' ears as it has been a long time since they have had a prolific frontman leading the line for them for an extended period of time; Marko Arnautovic threatened to change that before his time in east London eventually ended in acrimonious fashion.

There is certainly more to come from the £45m man given the immensely high standards he has clearly set for himself.
