Argentina striker Carlos Tevez insists he will eventually adapt to life in the Premiership and is desperate to be a success with West Ham United.

The Hammers snapped up Tevez and his international team-mate Javier Mascherano on transfer deadline day but the club has struggled ever since, losing their last five matches and failing to score any goals.

The 22-year-old has made four starts and two appearances from the substitutes' bench for Alan Pardew's side but has struggled to impress so far.

He said: "We have felt great support from everybody at the club. We are desperate to succeed in the Premiership.

"I would love to win the title with the club and repay all the trust and care that everybody has been giving us from the minute we arrived.

"It seems to us that West Ham is like a big family and we would love to repay their confidence in us with success and by winning something.

"They told us that the Premiership is a no-nonsense league, with plenty of tough tackling and challenges. I'm sure we can cope with it. We just need time to adjust.

"We know there will be a lot of fuss around us because we are two new players from Argentina, but we see ourselves as team players, not as individuals."
