Dyer targets next season

Kieron Dyer is hopeful that West Ham fans will see the best of him next season as he continues to build up his match fitness over the coming weeks. The 33-capped England international has suffered from a number of serious injuries during his career and that has continued to be the case during his time at the Hammers. The midfielder has played just three times this season and stacked up a total of six appearances since he signed from Newcastle in August 2007 for £6million. Dyer's ability has never been in doubt and the 30-year-old, after coming off the bench against Blackburn, is hoping he can string a number of games together before the end of the season in preparation for next term. "I honestly believe I can bring some more pace to the side," he told the club's official website. "If I can get a few more run-outs before the end of the season, then next season will hopefully be the one where everyone will see the real me. "Hopefully I can get a few more minutes on the pitch maybe this weekend against Sunderland and then matches here and there, perhaps doing a full 90 minutes in the last couple of games. "That would really gear me up and then if I can get a good pre-season under my belt and touch wood, I think I am due some luck, have a good run in the team next season."
