West Ham United boss Manuel Pellegrini was delighted with his team's attacking form after their 2-2 draw with friendly opponents Athletic Bilbao.

Manuel Lanzini scored his third goal in three pre-season matches to cap an eye-catching performance, converting Pablo Fornals' cross, while Sebastien Haller added an assist for Jack Wilshere.

I think we have different options," Pellegrini confirmed. You saw in this game we played with Wilshere, Felipe Anderson, Lanzini and Fornals, but in the second half it was Antonio, Yarmolenko, Diangana and Snodgrass, or we could play with two strikers.

With Fornals, Lanzini and Anderson, the three of them can play in all the positions behind the striker so we have different options, not only with those three players, but with others. For the moment, we have a complete squad.

As a manager you want options and you can play in a different way. You can want more muscle or more technique, but for me you want players who always want the ball."
