Keeper Hungary for success
Hungary Under-21 international Peter Kurucz has set his sights on challenging England goalkeeper Robert Green for the West Ham number one slot.
The 6ft 4ins Hungarian has signed a four-year contract with the Barclays Premier League club after an initial loan spell from Ujpest FC, and now looks set to provide back-up to Green after the Hammers failed to lure Kelvin Davis from Southampton.
With a string of impressive displays for the reserves already under his belt and a place on the first-team bench for the trip to Everton on May 16, Kurucz feels the next step is pressing Green for a regular spot between the posts.
"I played five or six matches in the reserves last season and enjoyed working with Ludek [Miklosko], who is a very good goalkeeping coach, and also Greeny," Kurucz told the club's official website.
"I hope I will play in the Premier League this season, but I think I will play more regularly in the reserve team."
