Striker Benni McCarthy believes he has joined West Ham United as precisely the right time despite the club's struggles in the Premier League.

The South Africa striker joined from Blackburn Rovers on deadline day alongside fellow frontmen Ilan and Mido.

On the pitch the Hammers are struggling down in 15th place in the table, but the off-pitch distractions over the ownership were recently resolved after former Birmingham City owners David Gold and David Sullivan took the helm.

"It is mind-blowing to be part of everything that is happening at West Ham and how this part of London is evolving," McCarthy told the club's official website.

"It will all be happening in and around this club and the new owners have come in and put the club back on track to go places.

"I want to be on this train, I want to be here now and grow with this club. I have come in at the right time.

"Maybe for results so far, you would like to be somewhere different or where we deserve to be, but all that is going to change. There are just too many good things at this club.

"Relegation doesn't exist for me. We have got way more in our squad to be at the wrong end of the table."
