West Ham United defender Issa Diop agreed with comparisons between Sebastian Haller and Romelu Lukaku.

The 40m signing from Eintracht Frankfurt has drawn comparisons with Manchester United striker Lukaku for his ability to score goals and hold up play.

And Diop thinks his France U21 teammate, who scored 20 goals last season, will be a great addition to the Hammers.

He said: "It's true that they are similar because Sebastien is a target man who can also score and do everything. He also has good speed, so I would say he is a complete striker.

"As a person, he is also very good. He is humble but also very funny, so he will be good to have in the squad.

"I think he's going to bring a lot to this club."
