Ajax winger Miralem Sulejmani is happy about the prospect of heading to England to join West Ham United on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old Serbia international was the Dutch club's record signing back in the summer of 2008, but he has struggled to live up to a price-tag rumoured to be in the region of £13million.

However, he is poised to be handed a fresh challenge at Upton Park, as long as he can secure a work permit.

Sulejmani told Sportski Zurnal: "I am happy that I will play in the strongest league in Europe.

"I think that I am up to the challenge and I am convinced that I will get the chance and the opportunities, as Avram Grant was very positive about my qualities.

"As Martin Jol took over (at Ajax), my status changed and this is the biggest reason that I would like to change my environment."
