West Ham attacker Jarrod Bowen hopes new signings Kurt Zouma, Alex Kral and Nikola Vlasic can help make it another “special" season.
Creative Croatia playmaker Vlasic made his debut as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Southampton, while France defender Zouma and Czech midfielder Kral were unused substitutes.
The St Mary's stalemate marked the first of seven games in just 23 days for the London club and Bowen has welcomed the increased competition.
“It's building on what we achieved last season," the 24-year-old told West Ham's website.
“We've got the Europa League this season as well and with the players we've signed and the stature they've got, they're only going to help improve the team.
“That's what we want: we want competition for places, we want as many players as fit as we can because we've got a lot of games this season, and we want to make it a special one."
