Moyes: Benrahma needs to start hitting the target

West Ham boss, David Moyes, has said the goals will arrive for Said Benrahma once he settles down.

Benrahma was given a slow introduction to life in the Premier League and, while impressing with a few assists and his work off the ball, the Algerian is yet to score for the club.

“First of all he has got to stop hitting them over the bar,” Moyes said. “He’s got to start getting them under the crossbar. That is the job. We bought him with goals and assists in mind but he is new to the Premier League, he has to get used to it.

“Not everybody is going to hit the ground running, some come in quickly and some don’t.

“Said is still learning, still picking bits up, but we like him a lot and we think he has got more to come. He has just got to stay steady, he has been taking on shots that aren’t at the right moment or time to do so, I think he just needs to calm down a bit and let it come to him rather than going and looking for it so much.”
